The Old Believers' Cross is one of the symbols of the faith that was used for worship, baptism and other relig...ious procedures. The eight-pointed cross is different from the usual Orthodox one. The modern church does not use the eight-pointed cross after Nikon's reform.Nikon's reforms began in 1653, and the reaction to the activities of the Metropolitan was not long in coming. In 1656, a significant event took place at the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church: everyone who baptized with two fingers was declared heretics. The cross was replaced, and books, scrolls and other symbols were to be destroyed. All those who continue to be baptized with two fingers and profess the old faith will be excommunicated and anathematized.
