The bells in the belfry stand so calmly, as if time has stopped around them. The light falls on them evenly, and you immediately think how many years they have been silent in the heights.
Колокола в звоннице стоят так спокойно, будто время вокруг них остановилось. Свет падает на них ровно, и сразу думаешь, сколько лет они уже молчат в вышине.

Magdalena Zielińska Where was it taken? They look like old, solid bells.
Claudia Wagner These are really old, heavy chunks. In our choir we recently talked about how much work hanging used to be.
Daniel Procházka The light on the brick wall behind them is really nice, you can see every joint.
Илья Павлов In our choir just this week, the bell ringer was telling us how much effort goes into properly hanging such heavy bells.
Danica Ristić I would like to see those bells up close.
Илья Андреев We also have a bell ringer in Yaroslavl this week talking about the pendant, almost word for word. Where were these bells filmed, in which temple?
Δήμητρα Δημητρίου Where is this bell tower? Is it open to visitors and when are the services?
Георгий Лебедев In Rostov, such bells are also heavy, and hanging them has always been a difficult task. And this is a photo from the Church of St. Demetrius of Rostov.
Алексей Петров Yes, suspension for such old people has always been a difficult task, Ilya said correctly. Where was it filmed anyway?
ვახტანგ ნოზაძე They are really heavy irons.
Χρήστος Μακρής These old bells are from the bell tower of Panagia Faneromeni in Nicosia. The largest weighs around 800kg and was re-hung ten years ago after a repair.
Bogdan Tudor Yes, that 800 kg weight is clearly visible in the picture. Good thing they fixed it and put it back ten years ago.
