Russia's third largest bell ready for Nizhny Novgorod
13.03.2012
The Baltic Shipbuilding Plant in St. Petersburg has executed a unique order from the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. The foundrymen of this company cast a giant bell called "Cathedral" - the third heaviest bell in Russia. On March 12, the bell was delivered to the customer.
The work on the order continued for almost six months. A delegation of the Nizhniy Novgorod clergy, headed by Archbishop of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas Georgy, arrived in St. Petersburg to accept the work.
The bell weighs 60 tons and is 4 meters high, company officials told ITAR-TASS. It will be installed at the Belfry in Nizhny Novgorod on the eve of the 400th anniversary of the militia of Minin and Pozharsky. More Pravda
