Old Believers Church of Pomorian Hierarchy community
Old Believers Church of Pomorian Hierarchy community, Religious heritage site in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Sign of Holy Virgin church exhibits Russian Revival architecture with its traditional design elements, metal roofs, and decorative window frames.
The church, established in 1906, represents the Pomorian Old-Orthodox community that separated from the Russian Orthodox Church during the 17th-century religious reforms.
The church maintains original Eastern Orthodox practices through specific liturgical ceremonies, distinctive chants, and traditional religious gatherings without ordained priests.
The federal cultural heritage site welcomes visitors during scheduled prayer services and offers educational programs about Old Believer traditions.
Members of this priestless Old Believer denomination elect qualified individuals from their community to conduct religious services instead of ordained clergy.
