The ceremony began with the ringing of Mother Earth. Once the vibration had subsided, the Klappermeisters took turns playing different tunes on the bells.
Mother Earth is rung by someone standing inside of it and swinging its pendulum, while the smaller bells are controlled by a series of wires connected to each bell.
After a brief introduction addressing the significance of the bells and St. Danilov’s death, Eck distributed ear plugs to the small crowd that had assembled to hear the bells.
Current Klappermeister Benjamin I. Rapoport ’03 said the webmaster of the St. Danilov monastery has visited and responded to the portion of the Lowell House website devoted to the bells.
“I think it’s cool that we’re in touch with the monastery,” he said. “It’s very nice to ring the bells on this anniversary.”
