Replacement of the Bells on Harvard Business School Bell Tower on 15 August, 2007
On 15 August, 2007, a ceremony of the replacement of the bells was held at Harvard University. “Weekday” Bell – the first coming back bell of the historical St. Daniel’s set – was taken down from Harvard Business School library tower and replaced by a replica bell cast in Russia especially for that purpose. When both the bells were placed side by side on the truck platform, the parties signed property transfer deeds, according to which the Russian Orthodox Church became the owner of “Weekday” Bell and Harvard University received property rights for its exact replica.
