going vol. turn often so oh, well then we can eat and there's another peculiarity we discovered thus, ya, it's the use of this is what we call the temp a cod. perhaps it refers to the temper bell twice, week in august, and i don't know what that name means. exactly, from plant i assume it comes from the french latan on time, and the sisters can be summoned individually. if each sister has a specific signal that $1.00 to $10.00, then i then want pause to etc. i'd be happy to show you how it works. i'll call sister sada maria obama. yeah. death's facility can be heard in every corner of the house of that or from the attic to the seller. this is all of this and that's been our system for calling

somebody in this big house before. there were any cell phones in the nuns follow the rule of saint benedict whose motto was aura at la bora, pray and work sister clara arts has been a nun for 25 years. she's been living in cologne since 2017 growing and processing herbs is her passion and her main work for me is to take a me to the rules and ben addict, there's a balance between work and prayer is very important. we have on all we need silent or prayer and rest were but we also need human contact. this does that. it will benedictine life means for me and i was sister, clara has been making teas, ointments, and even room spray for about 4 years. now. most of the herbs come from her own monastery garden for fellow sisters, enjoying the benefits of her home remedies, some of which are also sold at the monastery gate. when the bell rings for prayer,

the no, no, she has just 10 minutes to tidy up. and i'm fun. how do you start at the beginning? i found it very difficult. what did that i wanted to finish something would or i wanted to continue reading a book away, but now i think says no, it's good dentist. my, you recharge your batteries in prayer is, could be then you can keep going of fights looking online and you get new insides system and isn't it so not so obsess off as was it can be good to focus on the side of it was focus. he it was i novices but it's also good to let go. so last the bellas rung again shortly before prayer time. sister raphael is the bell ringer to day she 1st has an electric bell. then a handbell is run in the cloisters. finally the large bell in the church tower rings out the tower bell is still operated by

hand. by pulling on a rope. the nuns follow the bells calls several times a day. there's a total of 7 prayer times each day, plus daily mass. the bell is the nuns, constant companion structuring every day. prayer. the sisters line up in the cloisters, when the prior is sister, a manuela gifts, the sign they enter the church together. prayer can then begin the school at sings a gregorian chant. oh, mister, when you leave with this many bills as we do here, it becomes routine after a while. and only when i think about it, do i ask myself what it actually means though, and bicker? pitiful?

i think it has wealth of meaninglessness. first of all, i think calling is an important aspect of our lives in the us when we talk about a religious calling dog, we believe that god has called us to walk on this path and to live in this way on to him and somehow the ringing of the bell symbolizes this feeling of being cold and of responding that sadly bendy ah, back to frankfort churches. and their bell towers are an integral part of european towns and villages. they characterize the cityscape and their ringing off and drowns out the noise of every day. life, however, in the lutheran church of the 3 kings in frankfort and mine, the bells are currently silent. the church tower and the belfry are undergoing extensive repairs. the specialized knowledge of a cabin ologist is once again required. could cromer comes to the construction site architect and site manager my quinn, lie and bout hold up from the construction company payroll. tell him about the

progress so much today. we'd like to discuss how the wilson, the belfry should proceed. and so de cloquet from the colonel, we can ring bell 5 today. he saw bill for is also ready order. next we want to lower bell 3 and it's yolk with the pulley block. it's on to and then swap the arkansas dis, york on totem. and then i think we should take a look at bill 3 i from and how and girl they take the elevator to the 14th floor, which leads to the belfry, there are a total of 5 bells. the fitters carefully lower bell number 3 with a pulley block. it's been hanging on a steel yoke which needs to be replaced. the new yoke is made of oak because wooden yolks improved the sound of a bell. in denton, the whole point of this work is to replace the old steel yokes because they make the sound very hard and you don't want that. the wooden yolks have a softening effect, so they damp in the sound

a bit. i did that will definitely improve the ringing on dirt languages, eden, fostering alone. one of the bells is already mounted on its new wooden yoke. here caught comma has to check whether everything is fitted correctly and above all, whether the bell sounds good. a bell will ring again for the 1st time since the church tower renovation began 2 years ago. oh, it has a very nice sound. now the clapper clipping room, but still needs a little time before it worked properly. yes, the leather is brand new. okay. okay. we can start ringing on that item. well, yeah. oh, new copper still has to settle. innovate, put comma is otherwise satisfied. then there's another important topic on their agenda. could comma and my quinn lie,

discuss how to optimize the volume up the bell. sound louvers are attached to bell tower windows for this purpose, and they guide the sound of the bells out of the belfry when the tower was being repaired, the old blue ver, as proved to be faulty as a sound louvers. and the fact that i thought this week, i mean, in terms of sound technology, the charlotte, the sound arrives here in charlie and is directed to straight downwards by these louvers expedited or that means as directed at the neighboring houses. boards are being attached to the back of the louvre to reduce the pressure of sound. the neighbourhood should be shielded from noise pollution and it will improve the sound when the repairs are done. the bells can again play their role in the tradition of frankfort spells on high church holidays. all the bells are frank for its 10 inner city churches bring one after the other and attract and that draws large crowds. re montoya clothed is this. can you walk through? it's quite an experience of the church, of the 3 kings in particular,

the reason important contribution to my life because it's on the other side of the river and on july the news. well, it's a very important link between the individual churches. it's been delayed fishing. i think the people of frankfort will be really happy when the bells of 3 kings find me ring again in here. who tycoon scotia in to see the light. the sound of the church bell is often lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. yet with its call to prayer and reflection, the bell has been connecting heaven and earth for centuries. even millennia. you might say the ringing of bells is an eternal fascination. trend of it, i'm firmly convinced that the bell has a few china so couldn't talk. it has a rich heart. i can also inspire the future, could fail me to believe and cotton as it gives us one cause during the day. hark for prayer to all bye for work, so for reflection dimension with no, it helps many people to be calm, reflect on the meaning of miss been tito,

because i'm convinced that this meeting with with
