The Greek Orthodox Church is the most practiced religion in Greece. 98% of the Greek population are part of this church. As opposed to the Vatican in Rome, the patriarchs of the Greek church are located in Constantinople, which is modern Istanbul, Turkey. The outside of the Greek cathedrals are not always elaborate as some Catholic cathedrals, and the Greek Orthodox rarely have statues, however the mosaics and paintings inside Greek churches are still very impressive.
