Episode 4: Bells Beneath the Water | Libretto Short Stories

from Chronicles from the Lake Ladoga Shores · host Libretto Orchestra

When Swedish armies approached, the monks of Kannansaari made a desperate choice: cast the monastery bells into Lake Ladoga rather than let enemies claim them. The bells sank into darkness, and some say you can still hear them ringing during storms, calling from the depths. This is the story of what we try to save when everything else is lost, and of hope that sleeps beneath the waves.🎵 Libretto Orchestra Music Albums: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube🌐 libretto.fi#folktales #folkfore #KarelianFolklore #laatokka #LakeLadoga #laatokankansantaruja  #KansantarujaLaatokanluoteisrannikolta #TheodorSchwindt
