Visited small cemetery today with mom which is almost 1h driving trip away. Sadly the church was closed (because of corona), but we still were able to go to the cemetery - but first we checked out this big bell.
It was HUGE! I felt so weird when I stood near it, not to mention how horrified I felt when I peeked inside it. I don’t know why, but I feared I will die there and then under it. But still, I admired it! It was beautiful!
I also tried my best to translate the text from the plate next to it. I hope you understand :D

The bell is one of the most biggest and heaviest in Finland. It is originally from Russian's orthodox church. The bell was left behind by Russians during 1917 and Ministry of education donated it to Riistavesi's congregation in 1934. There's a message on top row. "Sing to our God, sing to our King, sing." On the middle row there's 4 images. Clarification of Christ, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, Sergei Radonežilainen and lastly Aleksanteri Nevski. Text on lower row. The bell has been molded at the factory of Nikolai Vasiljevits Usatsevi at St. Petersburg in 1914. It weights 155 trees (1 tree - 16,38 kilograms) so around 2550kg.
