Vasily Surikov's Boyarynya Morozova, depicting the defiant Boyarynja Morozova during her arrest. Her holding up two fingers (instead of three) refers to the dispute about the proper way to make the Sign of the Cross on oneself.

In the context of Russian Orthodox church history, the Old Believers (, starovery or staroobryadtsy) separated after 1666 from the official Russian Orthodox Church as a protest against church reforms introduced by Patriarch Nikon between 1652–66. Old Believers continue liturgical practices which the Russian Orthodox Church maintained before the implementation of these reforms.
