Time in Valaam island is informed by a bell - it rings in the mornings to rise, invites to worship, a meal, announces the completion of work. In the main temple of the island - Transfiguration Cathedral - a multi-level belfry is installed. The five-story 72-meter bell tower ends with a tent roof. To get a full-fledged bell work, you need a whole gang of bell-ringers - separately for the evangelism (large bells), separately for the bells (small bells), and others. At night, the light on the bell tower of the Transfiguration Cathedral is like a lighthouse, not only for those on Lake Ladoga, but also for everyone who has lost a landmark in life. In the cathedral you can hear the famous Valaam church singing, which is actively reviving.
