I talked with my mum about it and apparently they only wore those wierd clothes on special occasions. Ordinary services, the women wore just 'ordinary' conservative dress and shawls, and the men suits.
The rules and prohibitions of the Laestadians are practically identical to verything the girls weren't allowed to do. Or however you want to put it...
It is extremely strange that I've never heard of them before. Thanks for the info!
Wikipedia Wrote:Identifying greeting and farewell
When greeting each other, Laestadians say "God's Peace" in English (or in Finnish: "Jumalan terve" meaning God's greeting or welcome). To take their leave of each other, they say "God's Peace" in English (in Finnish: "Jumalan rauhaan").
Did you observe that?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
