The term Eastern Rites may refer to the liturgical rites used by many ancient Christian Churches of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and India that, while being part of the Catholic Church, are distinct from the Latin Rite or Western Church. Or it may apply to these autonomous particular Churches themselves, known collectively as the Eastern Catholic Churches.
