1. Doukhobor

   The Doukhobours or Dukhobors (Russian: духоборы / духоборцы, romanized: dukhobory / dukhobortsy; lit. 'Spirit-Warriors / Wrestlers') are a Spiritual Christian ethnoreligious group of Russian origin. They are known for their pacifism and tradition of oral history, hymn-singing, and verse. They reject the Russian Orthodox priesthood and associated rituals, believing that personal revelation is more important than the Bible. Facing persecution by the Russian government for their nonorthodox beliefs, many migrated to Canada between 1899 and 1938, where most currently reside.Doukhobors are often categorized as "folk-Protestants", Spiritual Christians, sectarians, and heretics. Among their core beliefs is the rejection of materialism. They also reject the Russian Orthodox priesthood, the use of icons, and all associated church rituals. Doukhobors believe the Bible alone is not enough to reach divine revelation and that doctrinal conflicts can interfere with their faith. Biblical teachings are evident in some published Doukhobor psalms, hymns, and beliefs. For over a century, since arriving to Canada, parts of the Old Testament, but more profoundly the New Testament and the Gospel of Jesus Christ were at the core of most Doukhobour beliefs. There continue to be spiritually progressive thinkers who through introspection and debate, search for devine revelation to improve the faith. The Doukhobors have a history dating back to at least 1701, although some scholars suspect the group has earlier origins. Doukhobors traditionally lived in their own villages and practiced communal living. The term "Spirit-Wrestlers" was originally used to disparage the group by the Russian Orthodox Church.Before 1886, the Doukhobors had a series of single leaders. The origin of the Doukhobors is uncertain; they first appear in first written records from 1701, The Doukhobors traditionally ate bread and borsch. Some of their food-related religious symbols are bread, salt, and water.

1. Doukhobor

   The Doukhobors or Dukhobors are a religious group of Russian origin. The Doukhobors were one of the sects—later defined as a religious philosophy, ethnic group, social movement, or simply a "way of life"—known generically as Spiritual Christianity. The origin of the Doukhobors is uncertain. The first clear record of their existence and the first use of the names related to "Doukhobors" are from the 18th century. However, some scholars believe that the sect had its origins in the 17th or even the 16th century. They rejected secular government, the Russian Orthodox priests, icons, all church ritual, the Bible as the supreme source of divine revelation, and the divinity of Jesus. Their pacifist beliefs and desire to avoid government interference in their life led to an exodus of the majority of the group from the Russian Empire to Canada at the close of the 19th century. The modern descendants of the first Canadian Doukhobors continue to live in south-eastern British Columbia, southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Today, the estimated population of Doukhobors in North America is 40,000 in Canada and about 5,000 in the United States.
