the ringing of the bells are so beautiful. i am no expert, but you rang them very beautifully. i hope you realise are blessed you are to ring them, and your parish for having bells. many Orthodox parishes don't have bells, and certainly not a zvonitsa like your parish. wonderful.
i am in california, and few parishes have them (since we have few russian parishes here). blessings to you and your parish. thanks for sharing.
You want to hear bells in CA, then get over to St Nicholas OCA church on Ross Ave in San Anselmo. Fr Stephan Meholic is the #1 zvonitsa in the USA. He even judged a zvon contest in Ekaterinburg. Mark Galperin of Blagovest Bells is a member of St Nicholas parish.
These are at my church in St. Louis, MO, USA. They were cast by the Podorozhny Bell Foundry in Voronezh, Russia. Have you any experience with Russian bell ringing?
@s1ngletrackm1nd I have not rung bells like these personally, although I would love to try. In my former home were several Old Believer congregations with four or five small bells, but their sequences were usually simpler than more modern ones.
It is beautiful songs!

I'm a bell ringer at St. Spiridon Cathedral in Seattle. I wish we had room for a zvonitsa like you have. You do a nice job of ringing.

What country is this in, and who cast the bells?

I don't have experience actually ringing them, but I love the rhythmic variations and the complexity of the combined pitches.
