A small hand bell, the sanctus bell, rung during mass, prepares the congregation for Holy Communion. Sanctus bells derive their name from being rung first during the Sanctus [Holy, Holy, Holy Lord...]. They have been rung as part of the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Church for more than 800 years. Most Sanctus bells used today are small hand-held bells or assemblies of three to five bells that are rung during the Mass A little before the consecration, when appropriate, a server rings a bell as a signal to the faithful. According to local custom, the server also rings the bell as the priest shows the host and then the chalice. The reason for ringing bells is, first, to create a joyful noise to the Lord; second, the Church bells ringing signaled those not able to attend Mass that something supernatural was taking place.

Answer 4

Hindus may engage in some type of formal worship either at home or at a temple. At home, Hindus often create a shrine with icons dedicated to the individual's chosen form(s) of God. Veneration may involve offering food, water, or flowers and may be expressed through the burning of incense, lighting of candles or oil-lamps, ringing a bell, waving a fan, or sounding a conch-shell. Other practices of Puja include meditation, the chanting of mantras, and the recitation of scriptures. So these practices like ringing bell are involved in pooja for respect to God and telling him that we are there to pray him and asking him to listen our pray.

The sound of a bell embodies all music. If a devotee lacks instruments and kirtana he should simply ring a bell, for that sound in itself is dear to the Lord.

The sastra states that one who, while worshiping the Lord, rings a bell with a symbol of Garuda or the Lord's cakra on it attains liberation from birth and death.This is from the book "Pancaratra-Pradipa",

He takes many forms for the service of Vishnu and thus He serves the Lord.
