Most of the text currently posted - once you get beyond the description of where the Old Believers can currently be found - is copied from elsewhere (I recognize some text as verbatim). Most of the photos, however, are new to my eye. I can't quite decide, but I'm leaning toward thinking that it's a bespopovotsy (priestless) site, but I can't say for certain - what's your impression?

The woman is wearing a sarafan. Kaftan is male dress. I like the photo of the clergy on the steps of the Pokrovsky Cathedral with the acolytes wearing felonchiky.

Polish American Member Registered: 06/24/05 Posts: 337 Loc: Cleveland, Ohio	I received a response from the author/owner of this blog. She wrote: We are popovtsy. We don't have a community here in BC because of this we made this blog so we can find more orthodox old believers so we can make a community . We know like 10 + families of old believers orthodox. We moved in 2008 from Montreal there are old believers but they don't have a community there. We are thinking to go to visit the old believers community from Oregon.
