WOW!! that is really neat. My grandma used to attend mass there and I usually go to St. Michael's on pomerado rd. I just learned about all the new construction and it looks amazing in the future site pictures. Congrats to all of St. Gabriels' parishioners on their new facility....And a HUGE congrats on your bell Isaac. -kevin
+Matthew Howard That feeling when something truly terrible is about to happen. Think of a movie or a scene in your favorite series, where a character is destined to die. The day or so before they do, there's a bell ringing in a nearby church, and it delivers a feeling of fear.
@HP McDoogle, Bells do have sent many messages to the populace. Apart from the routine call to worship, there are Weddings, Funerals and the Christian high seasons of Christmas, Good Friday and Easter Sunday and there is also New Year's Day or Eve. Though for some youngsters, bells might sound terrifying due to their rather gloomy nature and the fact that media portrays them in a way that's associated with death or a warning that enemy troops are about to attack the town. Not all bells however sound unpleasant. In fact, they are mostly associated with joyous occasions. But honestly speaking, there is that stage in your life when you shut your ears throughout the night not wanting to hear the sound of the funeral bell being tolled in the distant once every minute. haha.
Bei dieser Glocke scheint die Kröpfung mit Fallklöppel nicht so schlimm zu sein , da der Läutegrad zu niedrig ist als dass der Klöppel ,,fallen'' kann . Er schlägt nur kurz gegen die Glocke , was ein Flugklöppel ja auch macht . Klar eine Kröpfung ist keine ideale Lösung , aber hier sowas ist noch ertragbar .
That's what I'd like to know! It's a Beautiful bell with great sound to it. Never have seen a bell that looks like this on the inside as well as the out. PEACE!
