Are eastern orthodox icons made of oil or charcoal?
No. The components of most portable Orthodox icons are wood (as a base) covered with linen and then covered with gesso. The paints themselves are usually derived from minerals naturally found in rocks and sands mixed with a medium such as an egg yolk/ vinegar mixture. Some artists are known to have used a "wax encaustic" method, meaning that the pigments were mixed with wax then applied to a properly treated wood panel. It is believed that Saint Luke the Evangelist used this method for his icons of the Virgin Mary, Although a more well known icon using this method is the Savior of Mt. Sinai.

Where eastern orthodox is originated?
In short, the Eastern Rite came from the apostles. While some, such as Peter, preached in Rome, others went East and taught there. There, they incorporated Eastern, instead of Western culture. As the distance separated them culturally, the two parts of the Church organically took different ways of doing things, though keeping fidelity to Christ's teachings and to the Pope, who was, and still is, in Rome.
Why do so many people like the Eastern Orthodox better?
Eastern Orthodox Church has preserved the true belief and the original worship practice for nearly 2000 years. Very few changes in doctrine were made after Pentacost in 33 AD.My opinion is that this is the exact reason that once people are introduced to the Orthodox Church, they like what they see there, because it is the Original Church, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded at Pentacost in 33 AD.AnswerSome prefer the Orthodox Faith due to its genuineness/originality and its spiritual sacraments (IE. The Holy Eucharist, Confession,etc.)

What is the movement of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity?
The Eastern Orthodox Church is one of the two halves of Christianity that emerged after the Great Schism of 1054. It is much more deeply rooted in mysticism than its Western counterpart, the Catholic Church, and claims to uphold the traditions of the original Church of ancient times. The Orthodox and Catholic Churches formally split in 1054 with the excommunication of the Patriarch of Constantinople and his counter excommunication of several papal legates. Eastern and Western Christianity had been growing apart for many centuries, and had their adherents had clashed over a range of issues from the role and power of the pope, the Filioque Controversy, the issue of Iconoclasm, and a multitude of others, with events of 1054 being the final straw. The Orthodox Church has since divided in several 'autocephalous' branches, including the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox churches. Several attempts have been made towards reunification, but none so far has succeeded.
