Tips
The Congregation of Fedoshevites of Klein-Kolkja has existed since 1770. On February 16, 1945 it was re-registered as the Congregation of Old Believers of Väike-Kolkja. She was given a prayer house decorated with copper and wooden icons, as well as the outbuildings and other real estate.Today, the 120-family parish of Väike-Kolkja belongs to the Estonian Union of Old Believers.In the simple and cozy worship of the Väike-Kolkja Old Believers, there is an iconostasis with canonical picture frames and old-fashioned worship books (source: puhkaeestis.ee/et/evkl-vaike-kolkja-vanausuliste-palvemaja).
