Ten bells set up at the bell tower of the Russian Cathedral in Paris

Ten bells were set up at the bell tower of the Holy Trinity Cathedral in downtown Paris. Bell melodies are selected every day, reports Sedmitsa.

"From now on, Parisians and guests of the French capital, walking along the Seine embankment, will have a chance to hear the bell ringing. Bell melodies are selected every day," reports the press service of the Moscow Patriarchate Korsun Diocese, uniting Russian parishes in the countries of the Western Europe.

The bells were cast at the bell plant in the town of Tutayev in the Yaroslavl Region. They weigh from eight to 880 kg.
Under an agreement reached between Moscow and Paris, in March 2010 Russia bought from the French government a land lot in the seventh arrondissement of Paris on Branly Embankment opposite the Alma Bridge for construction of a spiritual and cultural center, which must reflect not only the traditional canons of the Russian Church, but also the spirit of the landmark architectural solutions on the banks of the Seine.

The development project involves construction of an Orthodox church, an administration building for the eparchy, a Russian-French school with a 150-student capacity, multifunctional rooms and lecture halls in a seminary, a dormitory for seminary students, and a library. A big garden is to be built in the middle of the site.

The cultural spiritual Orthodox Center is being created as a venue for meetings and cultural events for the Russian-speaking community, for introducing Parisians to the Russian culture, and for providing spiritual guidance to the Orthodox Christians.
