Traditional churches often include hand bells as an integral part of their music ministry. Their bells come in a variety of sizes.
Group members are clad in robes and don white gloves; a large assortment of bells has been placed before them on a table. Each member must patiently wait for their turn to ring their bell or bells.
Notes ring loud and clear. Sometimes bell ringers back up a choir and lyics of Christmas carols bring a birth announcement: A child is born!
