Old Calendarists are small separatist communities formed in Greece, Romania, Cyprus, Bulgaria and elsewhere after the adoption of the Revised Julian liturgical calendar (which is essentially the Gregorian calendar combined with the Orthodox Paschalion) in the early 20th century. Citing the 16th century anathemas against the Gregorian calendar issued by three endemousa (or "Patriarchal") synods in Constantinople, as well as various condemnations by multiple local synods, they have become some of the most vocal critics not only of the new liturgical calendar, but of ecumenism in general, which is seen as the ultimate cause of the calendar revision.

| - Old Calendarists are small separatist communities formed in Greece, Romania, Cyprus, Bulgaria and elsewhere after the adoption of the Revised Julian liturgical calendar (which is essentially the Gregorian calendar combined with the Orthodox Paschalion) in the early 20th century. Citing the 16th century anathemas against the Gregorian calendar issued by three endemousa (or "Patriarchal") synods in Constantinople, as well as various condemnations by multiple local synods, they have become some of the most vocal critics not only of the new liturgical calendar, but of ecumenism in general, which is seen as the ultimate cause of the calendar revision. Some have erroneously categorized multiple separatist movements in Russia and elsewhere as "Old Calendarist" on the basis of their opposition to ecumenism and modernism. However, these groups (usually referred to as True or Genuine Orthodox Churches) are not strictly speaking Old Calendarists, since their separation from their respective national churches is not the result of disputes over the liturgical calendar.
