Church bells have accompanied us since the 5th century. They were especially used in monastic communities to call the monks to gather for prayer in the chapel.
Bells also have great spiritual power. When a new bell is installed in a church, it is traditionally “baptized” or “consecrated” by the local bishop or priest.
The blessing of the bells according to the Roman Rite says: “God, who decreed through holy Moses, Your servant and lawgiver, that silver trumpets be made and sounded at the time of sacrifice…
…that when it rings and tolls, the faithful may be invited to the house of God and to eternal reward…
…May its sound drive away every evil spirit; let thunder and lightning, hail and storm vanish; may the power of Your hand subdue the malignant powers of the air, let them tremble at the sound of this bell and flee at once before the sight of the Holy Cross engraved upon it…
… so when the tolling of this bell resounds in the clouds, may it bring a legion of angels to watch over the assembly of Your Church.”
