The bell of the Shen Kolli Church (St. Cole) in Rehova disappeared in 1992. Despite numerous searches, the bell was not found and was declared lost. 

Recently, the church was undergoing restoration in the same village. A few days ago, construction workers spotted something unusual, which turned out to be the bell that was stolen 30 years ago.

At the same time, the men regretting what they did almost 3 decades ago decided to return also another bell, that belonged to Shen Maria (St. Mary) Church in Gostivisht.
