Jesus Himself has established His Church. Eastern Orthodox tradition preserves this very Church.
The Orthodox Church was founded by Christ in the year 33 AD, on the Day of Pentecost.
According to Orthodox Christian beliefs, the Orthodox Church has always existed from the beginning of time (called the Church Triumphant) but the physical church on earth (called the Church Militant) was established in Jerusalem in 33 AD and continues to exist without any changes to its dogmas and beliefs, to this day.
The term orthodox (Gk: Ortho - correct ; Doxa - doctrine of faith) came about as early as the 2nd Century AD to describe those Christians who had the correct faith as oposed to the heterodox (Gk: heterodox - other faith) or the heretics. It was officially used in the 1st Ecumenical Council in 325 AD.
The term Eastern Orthodox Church is not officially used by the Orthodox Church themselves but has only recently been applied to the Orthodox Church by the Roman Catholic and Protestant denominations. It is infact incorrect to call the Orthodox Chuch Eastern when in fact the Orthodox Church exists just as much in the West as it does in the East.
