Church Bells

Angels singing from the spires

When I hear the word “church bell”, it certainly rings the name of English Poet Robert Bridges, who in his poem Noel makes a modest mention of the church bells having a connection with the Christmas event which he calls ‘Angels songs to the shepherds’. Traditions affirm that it is a call to the community, pleasant or sad. In that way, the church summons the people to worship. This tradition is prevalent in the Anglican and Catholic churches across the world. This centuries-old tradition caught fire across the world and now every Christian church houses a belfry or a campanile.
