A few years ago, I was asked a similiar question about the "finger-nail

Molokans" by John Ghosoph, Fresno CA. Here's how I posted it:

 

Molokan NEWS 2002

Fingernail Molokans?      Jan 8

2002 -- An old friend writes: "... an interesting conversation I had with

a visiting Russian colleague. I asked him if he knew of Molokans in his

homeland? What he had to say intrigued me. He described the ones he knew

as 'the bearded ones that wore Cossack shirts and grew very...very long

fingernails'. He explained that these Molokans believed that their uncut

fingernails would help them climb into heaven when they die. This probably

has something to do with their belief that their spiritual body will have

whatever their physical body had. Interesting! I'm hoping to have more

information about the "Fingernail Molokans" soon." Can anyone else add to

this? Perhaps long finger nails helps one craw out of his grave?
