Thanks for the article. I remembered how the children's choir from the church sang under the direction of Marina Айропетова – as if I see how so many people gather at such a holiday. Did the "Ramenskie zvony" festival have many bell makers this year?

Тимофей Кузнецов

Yes, the children's choir under Marina Airopetova really stood out, the voices are clear, like at our parish festival in Yaroslavl. The festival “Ramensky Bells” was opened for the 21st time - it’s interesting how many bell ringers came this time, especially from the Moscow region. Did you remember Father Vladislav’s sermon?

Илья Морозов

Yes, Marina Airopetova’s children’s choir really sounded very clear, especially “It’s Worthy to Eat.” And Father Vladislav’s sermon was short and to the point - about how the Kazan icon always helped in difficult times. I didn’t notice how many bell ringers there were, don’t you know?

Vasile Constantinescu

Thank you too, Larisa. Yes, the children's choir under the direction of Marina Airapetova sounded clean and with heart, it felt like they had been preparing for a long time. At the "Rămenskii zvoni" festival this year more bell makers than usual came, I saw at least eight stands with bells of different sizes. Have you been to any edition before?

Alexandra Ciobanu

Yes, Marina prepared the children well, you could see that they seriously rehearsed. I was at the edition two years ago, and then there were about five stands with bells, this year they actually multiplied. Did you buy anything from them or did you just look?
