Ringing Bells after Easter

I met a Russian lady, Lilia through the internet and we met up for a chat and a walk around the city. She is a really interesting lady who slogs long hours every week so that she can save up and travel the world. She brought me to the Alexandra Nevsky Church, which is the biggest in Petrozavodsk. For the whole week after Easter, the church administrators allow people to go up to the roof and “play” with the bells. It isn’t as easy as it looks and it seriously takes great skill, strength and musical talent to play the bells well!
