Guilty or Not Guilty

Guilty...but only because I'm usually never in bed before midnight anyway

In Spain at the sound of the bells, the tradition is to eat one grape of 12 to each pell, to bring luck ... it's a very hard thing to do , have you ever tried it ?

Not guilty. I never heard of that tradition - I can imagine it would be tough to do.

Speaking of which, when traveling through a few cities in Italy plus Barcelona, Spain, I noticed that many churches ring their bells on the hour (and some on the quarter hour) throughout the day. I can't tell you the last time I heard any church doing that in the US.

Does a church near you ring its bells at times other than to call folks to services?
 
Guilty... they do here as well...some churches peal on the half hour as well as on the hour... can you imagine living next to a church who pealed so many times ? :eek:


Have you ever rang a church bell
 
I prefer winter holidays, but like spring season weather better.

If you've got boots on you still like to splash in puddles.
