How it's used
Eastern Orthodox Church is often referred to simply as 東正教 in daily life. While it is a major branch of Christianity, it is less common in Hong Kong compared to Protestantism or Catholicism, so many locals may not be familiar with its specific rituals or history. It is treated as a proper noun for a religious institution.
