This Prince Alexander from Vladimir took the ''veche'' bell from the Church of the Holy Mother of God to Suzdal and the bell ceased to ring as in Vladimir. And Prince Alexander thought he had been rude to the Holy Mother of God, and he ordered it taken back to Vladimir. And when the bell was brought back and installed in its place, its peal once again became acceptable to God.<ref name="Tikhomirov">{{cite book |last1=Tikhomirov |first1=Mikhail N. |authorlink1=Mikhail Tikhomirov |title=The Towns of Ancient Rus |date=1959 |publisher=Foreign Languages Publishing House |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bmdpAAAAMAAJ |language=en |page=227}}</ref>
