a place to live with but all believers lead a normal life outside their community along with the family breaks away secular ways after sime but if they'll no longer live in a way that befits all believers. only two options are open to the n.t. either he comes to terms with the community and pays his debt or waits for permission to go to russia's west. if this is. your friend who has arrived by ferry boat the river separates the village of from the rest of the world. your friend has brought all kinds of things in his truck but the boat is too small

10:45 pm
medics come to them then it's fine but if they go to a doctor themselves it's problematic. most diseases are treated with the traditional methods like medicinal herbs. that he was a source of so we use a medical hearse drink tea with them to dry her up so when terror as well as roots there are a lot of good herb standish so. the old believers do however allow some exceptions medication is allowed for severe pain while women go to hospital to give birth however there has been instances of expectant mothers escaping from hospital just before they were due to deliver but in general all believers have few health concerns. me examine their skin is clean how are your legs. was this music let's listen to your heart. there is nothing to worry about. it's not scary.

reform of liturgical practices in the seventeenth century triggered within the russian orthodox church. because they never accepted the new rules. were subjected to continuous persecution by church officials and. throughout those years old believers had to either hide or flee the country today there is no hostility but they still want to. believe us don't accept fish from lay people because they've been gussets for their they clean the whole fish themselves their plates and. different from those used by lay people to. clean even the need to be clean of. their communities and worst fear is the prospect of mingling with modern
10:48 pm
civilization. to live eat or pray together with the laypeople for example they can't buy meat sausages milk or bread from the shops whatever food is needed they make themselves. the word it's used is the main ingredient of bread made in accordance with russian traditions. you add water and salt and makes the stuff with flour. that takes half an hour. then you leave the mixture to sour for about five hours. after that you bake it in a russian stove. which when we always do it this way. is teaching the girls the art of making bread she came to do.
10:49 pm
in two thousand and eight although she is thirty eight years old she already has six grandchildren. i don't know exactly the secret of the russian stove but i do know that the bread baked in it tastes good we had a russian stove spec in europe why having a russian stove in the household was considered a must. feel younger daughter living together with her sons are still in my. life. to decide whether they want to come here. this. is very beautiful here. we decided to stay and are not planning on moving anywhere. when we came here an old woman by the name of or yama lived in this house she was an old believer. after she died one and half years ago women have been to her house

10:51 pm

10:52 pm
held up by a recipe handed down from generation to generation i just i can't even remember how i learned the scale but that's how bread was made all over russia in the old days. the girls are doing embroidery not all of the patterns are traditional given that they spend most of their young lives in latin america some of the patterns that reflect would have y. in a motifs however most of them are based on russian folklore. but because these black tropical birds call to counseling even brazil. watching them fly is a sheer delight. they have very beautiful beaks to the trouble those dead they play dirty tricks much stealing people's fruit. but some traces of their previous life in latin america can be found in the households of the old believers this colombian machete is made of very good steel you can see
10:53 pm
a dove pictured on it others bear pictures of monkeys such for cities are no good at all. machete is the weapon of south american tribes they have no gums a native picks up a machete. holsters that here and goes. on you know what i call the machete especially came in handy when they were being deprived of their land they used in a very effective way. of rolling as they locked them all for their machetes intakes of chickens head off and one girl. clothing sends a readily identifiable social signal to community members. they instantly know who's who is the person is from their midst or an outsider. the length of their dresses trousers and shirt sleeves is strictly regimented they should cover most of
10:54 pm
the body facial hair is another sensitive point no old believer is supposed to be beardless old believers consider that any deviation from canon is indicative of spiritual weakness they maintain that anyone's appearance should conform to god's instructions. for us milk is still warm try it. in actual fact however this rule doesn't cover those who are not members of the community alexander has allowed a family of young old believers to live in one of his two small houses in exchange for organic food. with you on sundays the old believe is stay at home. anything even go fishing in the river because they don't want to kill fish or any other living creatures. congratulations to everyone i wish you all good health and the spirit of god. in spite of various
