Tintinnabulum

BELL: In the middle ages, when the pope walked around Rome, a staff person carried a bell on a pole that he rang to create space in the crowds for the procession to continue.  Ours is on display on the west side of the church.  The bell is behind the carving of the church's facade and is rung at the Mass of Elevation and whenever the pope visits.  It was carved by Jorge Posada of Posada Woodcarvings in Atlanta.
