Molokan
Molokan
( for "milk-drinkers") is a Slavonic
exonym
for members of different
Spiritual Christian
sects
that evolved from
Eastern Christians
in the lands "
of all Rus
'." Their traditions (especially dairy consumption during Christian fasts) did not conform to those of the
Russian Orthodox Church
. Regarded as outside the traditional
Eastern Orthodoxy
,
Catholic
and
Protestant
denominations, they tend to identify as "
Spiritual Christians
".
