	Greek Old Calendarists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greek Old Calendarists ( Greek : Î Î±Î»Î±Î¹Î¿Î·Î¼ÎµÏÎ¿Î»Î¿Î³Î¯ÏÎµÏ, Paleoimerologites) are groups that separated from the Orthodox Church of Greece or from the Patriarchate of Constantinople, precipitated by disagreement over the retention of the Julian Calendar.
		By 1937, the number of Old Calendarist Bishops had been reduced to four, and the movement split within itself over the question of whether or not Orthodox jurisdictions that had adopted the modified Gregorian Calendar were still Orthodox.
		The Old Calendarists went their own way without further recognition from the broader Orthodox communion until 1960, when the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) consecrated new Bishops for one of the two major Old Calendrist factions.

		These Old Calendarists can be divided into two main groups based on the scope of their argument; the Zealots (or "Extremists") and the Moderates.
		It might be said that the Moderate Old Calendarists have been especially careful to retain a position that both champions their traditional point of view while not being radical enough to constitute a break from rest of the church.

		The state Church responded with a wave of persecutions, with the help of the police authorities, where Temples were burned, holy vessels overturned and broken, icons desecrated, the faithful and clergy beaten, arrested, humiliated at the hands of state officials and sometimes martyred for their steadfast refusal to alter their faith.
		The True Orthodox are sometimes referred to as "Old Calendarists" because they hold to the traditional Church Calendar, but the calendar is only one aspect of their witness to the wonderful saving religion of Jesus Christ, passed to them through the ages.
		The history of the Old Calendar Church of Greece is a radiant example of strength in persecution and uncompromising love for the Holy Orthodox Faith.

		An example of this is the lack of communion between the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia and the Soviet -controlled Patriarchal Church of Russia (Russian Orthodox), the conflict arising early in the 20th century due to a serious distrust of the soviets.

	The Old and New Calendars
		In Greece, the introduction of the new calendar caused extraordinary upheaval and physical persecution of the old-calendarists was widespread.
		The old calendar is supposed to be astronomically inaccurate, and the new calendar fixes this.
		With regard to the differences of opinion about the Julian calendar, it seems to us that the main argument in its favor is the annual descent of the holy flame on the Tomb of the Lord-a miracle which occurs in the presence of thousands of pilgrims during Holy Saturday according to the Julian calendar.

	schism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Old Calendarists have consistently and vehemently denied the right of Patriarchs, Hierarchs and local synods to alter the calendrical arrangements laid down in the canons of the Council of Nicaea.
		Interestingly, this schism as the Old Calendarists see it does indeed conform in part at least to William Law's characterisation of schism, since what the Old Calendarists object to is precisely what they see as high-handed, unlawful and unreasonable action by the Church's hierarchs.
		The Old Believers and Old Calendarists reflect the position not of the Vatican in relation to the Church of England, but of the Catholic Recusants, loyal to the religion they inherited from their fathers and mothers, and unable to accept the changes imposed by state authority.

		In 1937, however, after persecution from the State Church had reduced the number of Old Calendarist bishops to four, a tragic schism took place between two factions that came to be called the "Florinites" (after their leader, Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Florina) and the "Matthewites" (after Bishop Matthew of Bresthena) respectively.
		In fact, this remained the official confession of faith of all factions of the Greek Old Calendarist Church until the appearance of the "Synod of Resistors" led by Metropolitan Cyprian of Fili and Oropos in 1984.
		The Boston authors continue their history of the Old Calendarist movement by relating how the Florinites, after the death of Metropolitan Chrysostomos in 1955, eventually received a renewal of their hierarchy through the Russian Church Abroad in the 1960s, and how the Matthewites also achieved recognition by the Russian Church Abroad in 1971.

	Who are the "Old Calendarists?" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		While the calendar question was the issue at hand, the opposition saw the adoption of the new calendar as only one result of the fledgling ecumenical movement and the influence of other churches which, in their view, compromised the purity of the Orthodox faith.
		The Bulgarian Old Calendarists are headed by Bishop Photius of Triaditsa (born 1956, consecrated 1993), and have become a rather vibrant community after the fall of communism.
		The Old Calendar Orthodox churches of Romania and Bulgaria, the moderate Old Calendar group in Greece under Metropolitan Cyprian, and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia are all in full communion with one another.

	The Calendar of the Orthodox Church
		On the one hand, the necessary revisions were made to correct the Old Calendar; on the other hand, the calculation of Easter was retained as before so as not to violate the holy canons.
		Groups of "Old Calendarists" or Palaioemerologitai, refused to abide by the Church's decision and continued to follow the Old Calendar for both movable and immovable feast days.
		Despite attempts by the civil authorities in Greece to suppress them, the "Old Calendarists" continue to exist there and abroad and to maintain a hierarchy of their own together with parishes and monasteries.

	Forward to A Scientific Examination of the Orthodox Church Calendar
		The increased visibility of these Old Calendarists has drawn much attention to the fact that the "official" Orthodox Church of Bulgaria remains thoroughly contaminated with the vestiges of its infiltration and manipulation by Communism, which exploited the Church as a tool of ecumenical opportunism.
		Of course, the tension between Old Calendar and New Calendar Orthodoxy is by no means an isolated or localized phenomenon of the Bulgarian Church, and it certainly cannot be reduced to a trivial dispute about the "worship of thirteen days," as New Calendarist polemics would have it.
		For, although certain Orthodox Churches are "Old Calendarist" in a narrow, technical sense—such as the Patriarchate of Moscow—, they are, nonetheless, wholly "New Calendarist" in a broad, theological sense.

		Divisiveness among the various old calendarist communities, of which the St. Irene Chrysovalantou used to be one, spurred Metropolitan Paisios and Bishop Vikentios to reconcile with the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople.
		The Metropolitan avoided answering questions regarding the nature of the old calendarist movement and what it really is all about, however, explaining that he is waiting for the Mother Church to give him the green light to disclose the circumstances of his experience as a member of the GOC movement.
		Today, some pious old calendarists are themselves deeply ashamed of what has become of their Church," he said.

	HTC: The "Revised" Julian Calendar
		In the 16th century the Spring Equinox was arriving 10 days earlier on the "old style" Julian Calendar date of March 11th instead of March 21st, because of the uncorrected error in the "Original" Julian Calendar.
		In the 17th century the Spring Equinox arrived on the "Old Style" Julian Calendar date of March 11th, in the 18th century on March 10th, in the 19th century on March 9th, and in the 20th century on March 8th - 13 days earlier.
		In the same centuries, the "Old Style" Julian Calendar date of December 25th corresponded with the "New Style" Julian Calendar date of January 4th in the 17th century; with January 5th in the 18th century; with January 6th in the 19th century, and with January 7th in the 20th century - 13 days later.

		However, the years 1700, 1800, 1900 are leap years according to the Julian Calendar, because these numbers, 1700, 1800, 1900, are divisible by 4, whereas they are not leap years for the Gregorian Calendar, because the numbers of the hundreds, namely 17, 18 and 19, are not divisible by 4.
		This way we have the old date of the spring equinox, the 21st of March, whereas the OCs have the new date of this equinox, namely the 8th of March.
		We are based upon the old Julian Calendar of the First Oecumenical Synod, the OCs are based upon the new Julian Calendar.

	Notes on the Orthodox Ecclesiastical Calendar
		The date of Fixed celebrations in the Orthodox calendar is made more difficult by the fact that there are currently differing schools of thought on whether to use the Gregorian or the Julian calendar to determine the date of the Feasts that occur on fixed dates.
		The New Calendarists use the Julian Calendar to determine the date of Easter (and celebrations related to Easter) while using the Gregorian calendar to determine the date of fixed celebrations.
		Thus New Calendarists celebrate Christmas and Epiphany on the same date as the Western Christians, Dec. 25 and 6 Jan. GREGORIAN (respectively).

	The Apostles Fast - is it ever skipped by those using the New Calendar or Old Calendar? (yes)
		The shortest Apostle's Fast for those on the Old Calendar is 8 days.
		All Orthodox Christians (except for the unfortunate Church of Finland, which follows the Western Paschalia) follow the Orthodox Paschalia, and therefore have the feasts of Pascha, and all the commemorations which depend of the date of Pascha on the same date in a given year.
		The Feast is ALWAYS on June 29 for the New Calendarists, or July 12 for those following the church calendar.

	A "Reality Check" on Cults and Fundamentalism
		The Old World Patriarchates, most of them either under the communist yoke or suffering from economic deprivation and social isolation from the West, were honored for what they were: glorious symbols of a lost age of Orthodox social and political dominance.
		The end-result of this has been the emergence of an ethos foreign to the Church, rooted in ecclesiastical egotism, and advocated by individuals who have an insufficient grounding in the true traditions of the Orthodox Church and a distorted, Westernized notion of Her history and teachings.
		I am an Old Calendarist zealot because, in the ancient Eucharistic and Hesychastic tradition of the Church, I believe that the purpose of spiritual life is spiritual enlightenment, union with God, or theosis.

		There may be a real danger in the use by some Orthodox of the Roman Catholic calendar for the fixed feasts, not on account of this use in itself, but of the development of 'New Calendarism'.
		Of course, I would certainly agree that 'Old Calendarism', the reaction to the often violent and intolerant persecutions of New Calendarism, can also be dangerous.
		Just as New Calendarists are often fanatically opposed to any shred of honest Orthodox Tradition, so some Old Calendarists refuse to concelebrate with those who use the Roman Catholic calendar for the fixed feasts.

	Letter From Archbishop Lazar
		Ordinarily, we do not respond to material that comes from "Old Calendarists," who spend much of their energy attacking each other and creating ever new schisms and ever more jurisdictions with a constant "defrocking" and excommunicating of each other.
		Therefore, the action cited on the "Old Calendarist" website could only have been a vengeful and malicious action taken because I had withdrawn from the Russian Church Abroad because of some very, very serious matters relating to their mission in Juneau, Alaska and other equally serious matters.
		Surely not even the "Old Calendarist" sect would wish to refute so many great Holy Fathers who tell us that the soul alone is not the person, but only a part of the person.
