Bell-ringer

A bell-ringer is a person who rings, tolls or peals a large bell, usually a church bell, by tugging on a long rope. Since the invention of the carillon, the need for bell ringers has declined. Also some churches have replaced bell-ringing altogether with a loudspeaker that plays bell music from a computer or music player. The profession saw spectacular revival in Russia, paralleling growth of the Russian Orthodox Church influence. Secrets of the skill of bell ringers in Russia passed from generation to generation, but in the 20th century this art was almost lost. Until recently, the training took place at the workshops. Now in Moscow, opened the first permanent school bells bell-ringer under the leadership of Drozdihin Ilya.
