In which country might you find Old Believers?
Israel
Greece
Russia
Iran
The Old Believers separated from the Russian Orthodox Church in 1666 as a protest against church reforms introduced by Patriarch Nikon, in order to achieve uniformity between Russian and Greek Orthodox practices. Many refused to accept the changes which violated old traditions. Even the proper way to make the Sign of the Cross was changed, which later became a symbol of the difference between New and Old Believers.
