When we say something is ‘orthodox’, it means it follows the traditional or usual way of doing things. Imagine you have a favorite bedtime story that you read every night in the same way. That’s an orthodox way of reading your story. It’s how things have been done for a long time, and people like to keep it that way because it feels familiar and safe.
Think of it like making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and jelly on the other, then put them together. That’s the orthodox way to make the sandwich because it’s how most people do it. It might not be the only way, but it’s the way everyone knows.
Now, picture a parade where everyone is wearing the same kind of clothes and marching in a straight line. This is an orthodox parade. Everyone is doing the same thing, following the rules, and making sure everything looks neat and orderly. People like this because it makes them feel like they are part of something bigger and connected to each other.
