Monastery of the Transfiguration, Solovosky
Church bells from the Monastery of the Transfiguration, Solovosky.
On this week's Bells on Sunday, we hear a carillon from the most northern monastery in the world, the monastery of the Transfiguration on the Solovki Islands in the Arctic Ocean. During the Soviet period, the monastery was suppressed and turned into a gulag. The bells have been restored since the collapse of communism in the 1990s.
