A Brief Description About the Orthodox Tradition Site

The Orthodox Tradition YouTube channel provides video resources that support and explain the unchanging Orthodox Christian Faith and the teachings of the Apostles and Holy Fathers. It is affiliated with the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians (GOC) of America. The GOC is the traditionalist Orthodox Church of Greece. Our Diocese is part of the Eparchial Synod of the GOC serving the faithful of North and South America following the traditional Orthodox liturgical calendar (i.e. the old Julian Calendar).
