Where eastern orthodox is originated?
In short, the Eastern Rite came from the apostles. While some, such as Peter, preached in Rome, others went East and taught there. There, they incorporated Eastern, instead of Western culture. As the distance separated them culturally, the two parts of the Church organically took different ways of doing things, though keeping fidelity to Christ's teachings and to the Pope, who was, and still is, in Rome.

Why do so many people like the Eastern Orthodox better?
Eastern Orthodox Church has preserved the true belief and the original worship practice for nearly 2000 years. Very few changes in doctrine were made after Pentacost in 33 AD.My opinion is that this is the exact reason that once people are introduced to the Orthodox Church, they like what they see there, because it is the Original Church, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded at Pentacost in 33 AD.AnswerSome prefer the Orthodox Faith due to its genuineness/originality and its spiritual sacraments (IE. The Holy Eucharist, Confession,etc.)

What is the movement of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity?
The Eastern Orthodox Church is one of the two halves of Christianity that emerged after the Great Schism of 1054. It is much more deeply rooted in mysticism than its Western counterpart, the Catholic Church, and claims to uphold the traditions of the original Church of ancient times. The Orthodox and Catholic Churches formally split in 1054 with the excommunication of the Patriarch of Constantinople and his counter excommunication of several papal legates. Eastern and Western Christianity had been growing apart for many centuries, and had their adherents had clashed over a range of issues from the role and power of the pope, the Filioque Controversy, the issue of Iconoclasm, and a multitude of others, with events of 1054 being the final straw. The Orthodox Church has since divided in several 'autocephalous' branches, including the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox churches. Several attempts have been made towards reunification, but none so far has succeeded.
Does the Eastern Orthodox religion believe in cremation?
No, the Eastern Orthodox Church does not allow cremation. The Christian Church from the earliest times practiced burial of the dead, as the Roman catacombs reveal. Christ resurrected the bodies of many people during His ministry on earth, such as Lazarus, and His disciples also performed many miracles and even resurrected the dead (Acts 9:36-41). So the Eastern Orthodox Church views cremation as a mockery of Christ and His Apostles who resurrected human bodies, not ashes. Additionally, during the great earthquake that happened immediately after Christ's death on the Cross, the graves opened up and the bodies of the saints were raised from the dead (Matthew 27:51-54). Cremation has also been the custom of most atheists and the pagan religions, which do not believe in resurrection, and that is another reason why the Eastern Orthodox Church has always been against it.
When did the eastern orthodox church begin?
The Christian Church split into two separate churches in 1504, because of friction between the pope in Rome and the patriarch in Constantinople. The church in the West became the Roman Catholic Church, and the church in the East became the Eastern Orthodox Church.
