Abstract

The Church of the Mother of God meets all the criteria used by religious scholars in the research of different confessional manifestations of religious organizations themselves. Here we have a clearly defined understanding of God as the creator and the industrialist, the Christian Trinity is added with a special reverence to the Mother of God, a clearly depicted liturgical practice with a certain absolutization and sacralization with the places of appearances of the Mother of God, we have a fixed hierarchical structure of the Church, three times the rosary, and others. So this is the Church, not a sect, as Orthodox communities want to see the goddesses.
