   2. Both recognized Easter as the most important holy day.

                 3. Both celebrated the sacraments.

Explanation:  Priests are allowed to marry in the Eastern Orthodox Church before they are appointed priests, that is, before they receive the rank of priest,  not after, while in the Western Catholic Church it is not allowed for the priests to marry. In Eastern Orthodox Church, for example, if a person who was ready for a priest would marry, then he was appointed priest, and then divorced from a wife, he would lose the rank of a priest.

In both Churches, Easter is the most important Holy Day, because it forms the basis of Christian faith, regardless of whether it is Catholic or Orthodox, because without Christian beliefs in Easter, Christianity would not exist.

Both Churches celebrated the sacraments, maybe a little more Catholic, but basically there are no obstacles or limitations regarding the sacraments in both Churches.

The authority of the patriarch was accepted by the Eastern Church, while the Western recognized the authority of the Pope, which was also one of the causes of the beginning of the dispersion, and later the dissolution.

excuse me, so what the hell is the
