The Bells of Christmas
Bells announce the coming or arrival of an event, activity, or occasion. They
toll for good times. They toll for bad times. They ring out warnings. Bells
herald in the New Year. Bells are rung to announce the union of a man and a
woman. They are rung during Christmas to announce the arrival of the season, to
proclaim the birth of Christ.
Ringing of bells can be traced back to pagan winter celebrations. During those
times, noisemakers were used to scare away evil spirits in the night. Among
those early noisemakers were bells. People had fun ringing the bells and making
noise. It was too much fun to just use bells to scare demons away. So over time,
bell ringing was incorporated into other events and activities. Bells are rung
at churches to call people to gather, as warnings, and to bring people together
to make announcements.
>From these ancient roots, the ringing of bells began to be used in the Christian
Christmas season. The soft, cheerful tones blended well and enhanced the sounds
of the season. Today, they play an important, traditional role during the
holiday.
