@jdi0093113 When I was in elementary school, I remember going up to ring these bells at lunch time when they used to be manual. It was always such a treat to help pull the ropes :) So sad when they went to electronic.....

I am very familiar with the Angelus; in fact, I grew up in Rockaway Beach in Queens, New York, a predominantly Irish neighborhood. In the summertime, back in the 1960s, EVERYONE on the beach, in their bathing suits, stood up when the bells rang at 12 noon and prayed the Angelus. But those days are now gone. BTW, I am Catholic, and any of us sitting on our front porches did the same thing.

this is fucking terrifying.

Automated bells always ring on time, while manually-pealed bells depend on people who sometimes don't show up. Often, children are allowed to ring the bells, and this results in uneven peals, bells not pulled hard enough, bells flipped from being pulled too hard, or a Sunday peal lasting fifteen seconds instead of three minutes.

Hope that ghastly electomagnet clapper "CLACK" cannot be heard below!
