Bells

 
 

Bells have been used in churches for centuries. Large bells, usually found in towers were used to call the congregation to service. During Mass, a small hand bell is rung during the Eucharistic prayer when the bread and wine are shown to the assembly. Additionally, a special bell is sometimes used at funerals.
