教堂里的銅鐘

我們應(yīng)該都知道教堂的大銅鐘在報(bào)時(shí)的時(shí)候會(huì)響起，在召集信徒進(jìn)教堂做禮拜或者望彌撒的時(shí)候會(huì)敲響，或者是作為禮拜或者彌撒開始的信號(hào)也會(huì)敲鐘，而且我們可能還知道彌撒中的銅鐘聲音向上繚繞，是一種祈禱聲音向上傳遞的含義。

We should all know big bronze of the church will ring on time, on call believers into the church or mass would ring, or as part of the week or mass start signal will bell, and we can still know the incense smoke curling up in the mass, is the meaning of a prayer sound pass up.

教堂敲鐘的習(xí)慣有著上千年的傳統(tǒng)，而這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)是從天主教會(huì)最先發(fā)展起來的。教堂早上的鐘聲是為了告訴天下所有的人們，現(xiàn)在彌撒就要開始了，你們都要來到教堂與主相遇。鐘聲一般來說一天要敲三次。

Church bell ringing is a thousand-year-old tradition that first developed in the Catholic Church. The church bell in the morning is to tell all the people in the world, now the mass is about to begin, you all have to come to church and meet the Lord. The bell generally strikes three times a day.

早上、中午、晚上各一次，天主教會(huì)自古就有《三鐘經(jīng)》的古老經(jīng)文。其實(shí)鐘聲有提醒人們祈禱，勿忘神的含義。讓每一個(gè)信徒都能在生活中記憶起神的鐘聲，讓他們更依靠著信仰而生活，做一個(gè)為社會(huì)，為自己有益處的人。 

Morning, noon and evening, the Catholic Church has the ancient text of the Three Clocks Book since ancient times. In fact, the bell reminds people to pray and remember the meaning of God. Let every believer in life can remember the bell of God, let them more rely on faith and life, to be a good person for the society, for their own.

鐘聲也告訴人們，彌撒的舉行，還有教會(huì)在大節(jié)日的慶祝方式。 當(dāng)本堂司鐸（管理教堂的神父）去世時(shí)，教會(huì)也要敲鐘，告訴所有的人，他已經(jīng)安息主懷升天了。

The bells also told people about the mass being held and how the church was celebrating the big holidays. When the Pastor (the priest in charge of the church) dies, the church bell is rung to tell everyone that he has gone to heaven.
