About Us
This calendar project began in 1983 in the village of Nikolaevsk, Alaska by Rev. Pavel Fefelov. Russian Old believers needed a calendar to live by day to day. All of the information is compiled into the calendar according to those who live by the faith. It has been made annually, as a guide to the Old Believers traditional way of life, including all celebrated holy days, weekly liturgy reading, periods of lent, specific fasting requirements of days, and words of scripture, in both Russian and English languages.
The paper format of the calendars ended as of the 2018 year. We got such an unexpected number of requests to make the 2019 Russian Orthodox Old-Rite Calendar that Rev. Pavel finally agreed. As a Christmas present to all, a digital copy has become available starting in 2019, month by month in .jpg format.
With such an unexpected response requesting our calendar copies, Rev. Pavel gives permission to download the .jpeg files and print them in color at your local printer, as they are in the same size 11x17 as previously published. Absolutely NO UNAUTHORIZED SELLING of the calendar images. Donations to the project are accepted and can be made by clicking the donation button on our home page. All Rights Reserved.
