In the Eastern Orthodox Church there is a long and complex history of bell ringing, with particular bells being rung in particular ways to signify different parts of the divine services, Funeral tolls, etc. This custom is particularly sophisticated in the Russian Orthodox Church. Russian bells are usually fixed, and are tolled by pulling on a rope that is attached to the clapper so that it will strike the side of the bell.
- On every day of Bright Week all the bells are rung from the conclusion of Liturgy until Vespers.
- From Pascha until Ascension there is a treble peal (trezvon) following Sunday Liturgy.
