A question for you!!!!!!

[B_Ungaro]

Greetings,
To liven things up a little, I thought I pose a question. I am sure that you have noticed that at NOON in all European cities
the Church Bells RING. They are so nice
to listen to. Actually it is BEAUTIFUL. The question is why do they RING at NOON? I tell you that it is not to let people know that it is NOON. First to answer gets a medalion.

1)Was it to call the workers in from the fields for meal time break?

2)When Christ resurrected on the third day, it was noon?

Good one Judge er B.Ungaro. Darling you always know how to liven up these boards. Still giggling about the pink drink story. I bet you have a pocket full of them, just bursting to get out.

Greetings Lilly,
Close but NO CIGAR. (sorry, I just had to say that.)

To alert the town that the time is noon and to force the stores to re-open for the sale of Vodka?? hahaha

Good one Ungaro.\
I agree with Lilly that it was to remind people about a lunch time.
Tell us at least how close we are to the truth.

Okay, I'm probably way off base, but I think it was to establish the time in THAT town and place each day, because in the old days there weren't any standard time zones. Or it was to knock the rust out of the bell in a timely way.

Ignore that first reply. I have it. The bells RING at noon because they can't WHISTLE.
