The name of the church on Front St. is: "THE MOST HOLY BLESSED VIRGIN CHURCH" it is the Russian Church that my mother went to, and St John Devine Russian Cemetery where most of my Russian family is buried. It is on Rt.97 off of Rt. l 90, I went through all of the cemetery and took pictures and logged where each stone was, a couple of years ago. Then went to Marianna, PA. to the Russian Cemetery & Church of St. Nicholas. It was the first Old Rite Russian Orthodox Church in America, and my G-Grandfather was one of the men that built that church. These Churches are of the "OLD BELIEVERS" They are the Old Ritualist know for their strict adherence to the practices of the Russian Orthodox Church as it existed prior to Patriarch Nikon. They have preserved an ancient form of singing, known as Znamenny Chant, that contiunes to draw the attention of other Orthodox Christians, as well as scholars and historians.
