It is good that bell ringers have gathered from so many places, even from Israel and France. I have always liked the tradition of bell ringing after mass, it sounds more alive than any recording. I wonder how long they rang this time.

Κατερίνα Γεωργίου

Good that they gathered from so many places, even from Israel and France. The knocks after the service always give another liveliness, as if the celebration continues. I ask too, how long did they last this year?

إلياس نصار

It is nice that they gathered leaders from seven regions, as well as from Israel and France. After Mass, the zenan always makes the atmosphere live, not like the recordings. My question is like the rest: How long did the adultery last this time?

Gheorghe Radu

Good that so many craftsmen gathered from seven regions plus Israel and France. The noise after the Liturgy is completely different from a recording, as if the church breathes. Anyone know how long it took this time?

Валентина Соколова

I’m glad that bell ringers from seven regions, and even from Israel and France, have gathered again. In our choir they always say that the live ringing after the liturgy is a completely different matter, as if the air itself is singing. I wonder how long they called this time, an hour or more?

Иван Атанасов

You said it well, Georgi, the live bells really give a completely different atmosphere. This time they rang for about 25-30 minutes from what I heard from the people in the square. Have you ever been to their capitals?

Αγγελική Μακρή

Yes, the vitality you speak of is exactly that! This year they lasted around 25 minutes, until it started to crumble and everyone gathered inside for coffee. Have you ever been to such clubs outside of Athens?

Надежда Стоянова

Yes, Ivan, the live bells really change everything - it's like the air is filled in a different way. I was last year at their headquarters, but then they rang shorter, maybe about 15 minutes. And were you listening from the square, or did you manage to get up closer?

Φωτεινή Σταθοπούλου

Yes, 25 minutes is enough, you don't get tired. Last year I went to a similar bell ringing at the monastery of Agios Nektarios near Larnaca, it also had foreign bell ringers but it was shorter. Have you ever been to Cyprus for something like this?

Христо Христов

Yes, Nadezhda, that's right - the air becomes denser, as if everything around is standing up. I was in the square, but then I approached the fence and heard them ring for almost half an hour. Did you go up to the bell tower last year or do you just listen from below?

Ηλίας Μακρής

No, I've never been to Cyprus for bell ringing, but the one at the monastery of Agios Nektarios sounds interesting. The 25 minutes are indeed ideal, last year here in Thessaloniki we had one that lasted 40 and then we got a little tired. Did you go alone last year?

Надежда Тодорова

Yes, Christ, the air does get thicker, especially when all the bells are ringing at once. Last year, I went up to the top of the bell tower for a while, but then I came down - everything shakes from above, and I, at 34 years old, am no longer up for such adventures. How long did you stay at the fence?

Δήμητρα Δημητρίου

No, last year I went with my daughter, we kept the 25 minutes and then went for coffee next door. In Thessaloniki, 40 minutes is indeed a long time, then you start looking at the clock. Have you ever tried ringing bells?

Χριστίνα Νικολαΐδου

No, I have never tried ringing bells, I am afraid of confusing the sounds and spoiling the harmony. Last year my husband and I went to a celebration at our church here in Larissa and we stayed a good 20 minutes, then we went for ice cream across the street. How long does the Divine Liturgy usually last in Thessaloniki?

Νίκη Χατζή

No, I have never rung bells, but I would like to try once in a small church here in Limassol, to see how it is. Last year with the group from the painting class we kept a good 30 minutes in the function and then went for fresh juice next door, not coffee. Did you and your daughter often go to such celebrations?
