Answer 1

Both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church permit the use of icons and religious imagery in worship and personal devotion, although their theological emphases and practices may differ. Additionally, both traditions allow for the use of certain liturgical materials and practices during services, such as incense, vestments, and candles, which contribute to the sacred atmosphere of worship.

Furthermore, both churches celebrate the sacraments (though there are differences in the understanding and number of sacraments), observe feast days, and engage in prayer, including the use of prayers to saints and the Virgin Mary. There is also a shared belief in the significance of tradition, the authority of church teaching, and the importance of the Eucharist in both faiths.
