The Orthodox Church recognizes several types of crosses, each with its own significance. The most common is the Byzantine cross, which has a longer bottom limb and often features two additional horizontal bars, symbolizing the inscription above Christ and the footrest. The Russian Orthodox Church commonly uses the Orthodox cross, which has a slanted base, representing the path to salvation. Other variations include the Jerusalem cross, which features four smaller crosses surrounding a larger central cross, symbolizing the spread of Christianity.

When was the Orthodox Church invented.?

That's a bit difficult to explain. There was one church called 'The Catholic Orthodox church" it split into Orthodox and Catholic. However there are two Orthodox churches which both preserve the ancient teachings and traditions of the original church. Except have a different view of the divintiy of christ. The Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox church believes that christ has two natures but united while the Eastern Orthodox church believes that chirst has two natures but seperate. However,they both are the original church and have not changed the apostolic traditions. So the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches are equally old since they were both founded by one of the apostles,however the Orthodox church stayed true to the original churches beliefs and traditions. But they became referred to as "Orthodox" in 451 AD (Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox) and in 1054 (Eastern Orthodox)
