What is Old Belief?

A veil of mystery hides Old Belief from outside eyes. Followers of the faith of Alexander Nevsky and Sergius of Radonezh are not in a hurry to tell about themselves and are reluctant to open up to the modern world.
This... book lifts that veil, introducing readers to the theology and history of Old Belief, clearly explaining the schism and the feat of Protopope Avvakum, about Boyarina Morozova - the holy venerable martyr and confessor Theodora, about the peculiarities of worship in an Old Believer church, about the two-finger gesture and the Christian beard.
It will be of interest to a wide audience. It may be used as supplementary material in the study of the subjects "Basics of Orthodox Culture" and "History of Russia".
