The experience of the Old Believers, or “Old Believers” as they are also called is truly unique- they were able to preserve their religious and cultural identity in the most difficult natural and political conditions and didn’t lose their language and customs.
The Old Believers as the heirs of pre-schism, pre-reform Russia try to preserve all the dogmas, canonical status , ranks and Matins of the Old Russian Church.
Among them there are the two-fingered sign of the cross, immersion baptism, unison singing, canonical iconography and special prayer clothing.
Old Believers use old printed liturgical books published before 1652. In the Old Believer Church the perfect and only recognized form of the image of the cross is eight-pointed cross .
