06 November 2007An 82-year-old bell-ringer from Bryansk rope-climbs the belfry
Moscow, November 6, Interfax - Bryansk Region's only woman bell-ringer Galina Nikolashina from the village Ovstug rope-climbs the belfry each time she needs to ring her bells before church services.
Galina has learnt ringing bells with no teacher, Express-Gazeta reports. She felt her he was called to this occupation in the mid 1990s when the local church's belfry, destroyed during WW2, was rebuilt and given new bells.
'When we got the main bell I promised myself that I would ring it at least once. And after I did I got a taste for that. I had no teacher except a small church booklet yet in a year I mastered bell-ringing more or less,' she said.
The woman has to rope-climb the belfry since the ladder is not complete so far. How she managed to do that? 'Burning desire is worse than fire,' she replied.
One rainy day she fell down and broke her leg so that now she needs crutches to get about. Yet Galina remains optimistic.
'I will climb up as soon as I can. And there I will ring!' she said.
The chief ringer of the Moscow Kremlin and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior Igor Konovalov commented that he never heard of so aged women ringers.
