I Hear Bells

Bells ring throughout the Orthodox Christian service. I adore bells and loved the sound. What lucky neighbors in Yonkers, to hear those lovely bells all day long. There are stationary bells outside and bells filled with incense being carried around the sanctuary on the inside. The Orthodox are the opposite of the Protestant church. There was constant kissing of crosses and pictures, and when they cross themselves they do the full Monty, reaching down to the ground to touch the bottom of the cross, then up to the head and shoulders. I was very impressed.
