Orthodox Christians use the original Nicene Creed, as set out by the First and Second Ecumenical Councils.

The creed is as follows:

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God; begotten, not made, being of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made;

Who for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man; and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; suffered and was buried; and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end;

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life; who proceeds from the Father; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the Prophets;

In One, Holy, Catholic (meaning universal), and Apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.

I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.

An Orthodox priest is required to be a reverent man, not consuming much wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. They should also be blameless, and the husbands of one wife (for married priests), ruling their children and their own houses well. (1Timothy 3:8-12).

The canons (rules) of the Church, also specify various other requirements for a priest. These include the minimum age (30 years) and how he should perform the church services, he should imitate Christ, he should obey his bishop, should not be drunk or gamble, he should wear a bear, and should always wear his clerical garments.

No, the Orthodox Church was founded in the year 33 AD on the day of Pentecost. From that time onwards, it has remained unchanged for over 2,000, keeping faithful to the beliefs and traditions of Jesus Christ and the Apostles. It also has an unbroken succession of bishops (called Apostolic Succession), who can trace their history from the New Testament Apostolic era to the present day.

There are several theological and political factors, but primarily the authority of the Pope

Orthodox means unchanged and unaltered during the entirety of its existence.

The word is made up of two Greek words 'ortho' (meaning correct) and 'doxa' (meaning glory or worship). So it is the correct worship of God.

This is known as the Nicene Creed. It is a statement of what we believe. We believe in one God, God the the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, True God of True God; begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were created.Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and became man; and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose from the dead, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, in His glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. Yes, We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father; who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. We confess one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the coming ages. Amen

You're thinking of the Eastern Schism, sometimes called the Great Schism, but in the Catholic Church, the Great Schism refers to the Western Schism in the 15th century, not the Eastern Schism in the 11th century.

The Orthodox Church uses the old Julian calendar to calculate Easter, whereas the Roman Catholics and Protestants use the new Gregorian calendar. Previously, they all used the same Julian calendar, until Pope Gregory XIII changed it (and named the new calendar after himself) in 1582. This means that Easter for Roman Catholics and Protestants can often take place before the Jewish passover, which is chronologically inaccurate, whereas Orthodox Easter is always after the Jewish passover, which is the historically accurate sequence of events.

The difference is merely semantical (although some Eastern Orthodox would disagree), a misunderstanding at the time, fuelled by political issues.

Efforts to unite the two strands of Orthodoxy are underway, but unlikely to succeed, given this may split the Eastern Orthodox (eg Greek, Russian) communion in two.
