ring a sacred bell

As I was walking to work this clear, frosty morning, a bell was ringing. And not through some automated timer system either, as in most churches these days. As I passed the beautiful Greek Orthodox church, I glimpsed a man in the bell tower.
( Picture from Wikipedia )

It must be a transcendent experience, standing in a bell tower one bright winter morning when the sun is rising, ringing a bell that echoes over a still quiet city. But I hope he was wearing earplugs.
