How Does Orthodox Christianity Understand Ancestral Sin?

Orthodox Christianity commonly uses the term ancestral sin when speaking about humanity's fallen condition inherited from Adam and Eve. Human beings are born into a world marked by sin, corruption, and death.

Does Orthodoxy teach that a newborn child is personally guilty of Adam's act? Orthodox teaching generally distinguishes the consequences of the ancestral fall from personal guilt for another person's sin.

What is the Christian answer to the fall? The Church proclaims Christ's victory over sin and death and calls each person to healing, repentance, and communion with God.
