The practice of living the life in Christ: fasting, vigil lamps, head-coverings, family life, icon corners, and other forms of Orthopraxy. All Forum Rules apply. No polemics. No heated discussions. No name-calling.

I believe my parish (in the Polish Orthodox Church) used to do that, it became obsolete, but men and women still split when going to communion, or cross veneration and antidoron. I heard the local Old Calendarist parish still does it, though, but, on the other hand, their women are unveiled.

What jurisdiction is the church under?

Many monasteries even of the world orthodox groups maintain separation of the sexes.

Never found out, but I'm sure it's either in a very small jurisdiction or with a vagante bishop.
