bells

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

bells. The legend that associates the introduction of bells into Christian worship with Paulinus of Nola (d. 431) lacks historical foundation. Handbells were much used in areas under Celtic influence from the 5th to the 9th cents. Hanging bells had come into general use by the 8th cent. Bells are used to summon the people to church and on other occasions, e.g. to announce the death of a parishioner, or for the ringing of the ‘Angelus’.
