Orthodox Encyclopedia

Okay kiddo, when we talk about an encyclopedia, it's like a big book with lots of information about lots of different things. An Orthodox encyclopedia is a book or set of books that has lots of information about the Orthodox religion.

The Orthodox religion is a type of Christianity that has been around for a very long time, even longer than your great-grandparents! It started in the eastern part of the world, in places like Greece and Turkey.

An Orthodox encyclopedia can tell you all sorts of things about the Orthodox religion, like the history of the religion, the different traditions and beliefs that Orthodox Christians have, and even things like the holidays and celebrations they have.

Think of it like a big picture book but instead of pictures, it has words and lots of important information. It's like having a really smart friend who knows everything there is to know about the Orthodox religion and can tell you all about it!
