Bell ringing is considered miraculous because it renders many inexplicable effects of science on everything living from microbes to person. The sound made by the bell makes a person feel which are unusual and not commensurate with anything we are used to. It is no coincidence that the bell is called the “voiced icon” and “prayer in bronze. ”
BELL HISTORY
In the IV millennium BC. e. on the territory of modern South Iran and Turkey, technology already existed in Mesopotamia and Egypt bronze casting. But as soon as people learned how to mine metal, they could not help but pay attention to how long and powerfully it rings upon impact (and the voice of bronze is especially beautiful).
A number of researchers believe that the birthplace of bells is China. Indeed, bronze casting technology was created in the Xia era. (XXIII — XVIII centuries BC). However, among the items found under the ashes of Herculaneum and Pompey (I century BC), met bells 14 and 17 cm high. In the ancient world they performed in mainly signaling functions. In ancient Rome, their ringing signaled open markets and baths, watering the streets, executions and other events city life.
The custom to convene monks for worship arose in Christian monasteries in Egypt. In Palestinian, Syrian, Greek monasteries still use special boards (beats), in which hit with a mallet (riveted).
When the bells were small, they were hung on the pediments of the churches. By as the weight increased, small towers were built for them on roofs of temples. They called from the ground, yanking the rope. From the eighth century Messages appear about the first bell towers built separately from churches. Later, Romanesque and Gothic architecture combined bell tower and church in a single ensemble.
Advanced casting technology made it possible to cast bells not only larger, but also emitting the tone of the desired timbre. Already in The 9th century began to produce sets of bells (up to 8 pieces), creating a certain scale. In the early Middle Ages they received widespread, and in Christian countries Since the 7th century, Europe has become an integral part of everyday life. European cities and villages, because they symbolized good.
In the XII century, a new casting technology was developed, which provided high sound quality and the ability to increase the weight of the bell. Soon complexes appeared, uniting up to thirty bells. The key system that the ringer hit with his fists has been supplemented pedals. The bells followed one another according to halftone with no spaces.
Thus, the period from the 12th to the 16th century occupies a special place in the history of bells: in these centuries their modern mold and casting technology.
BELLS IN RUSSIA
Bells came to Russia from the West. First mention of them contained in the 3rd Novgorod annals and dates from 1066. The early history of bells in Russia was the same as in the West. At first they were cast by monks, but pretty soon the matter turned to artisans. The bells were sanctified, but they were never baptized or called human names. Although often nicknamed: bell with a strong, harsh sound, it was often called Swan, with a soft, pleasant – Red, with uneven, rattling – Goat, Ram.

In Russia, they attributed the ability to cast out evil spirits, dispel intrigues and evil spells, avert a thunderstorm, heal diseases. At in this they were often subjected to severe penalties. In 1771 the bell of the Moscow Kremlin by the decree of Catherine II was removed and devoid of language for calling for rebellion. In 1591, by order of Boris Godunov the same fate befell the Uglich bell, notified the people of the death of Tsarevich Dmitry. On the
Rus bells measured the passage of time, sounded the alarm, warned about the approach of the enemy, convened warriors, met the winners, welcomed the distinguished guests. The sound of the veche bell called public meetings in Novgorod and Pskov.
Travelers who came to Russia were not only amazed an abundance of bells, but also their weight. By the middle of the 16th century, Russians the bells surpassed the western in size. If the European bells weighing 100-150 pounds (one pound is 16 kg) were considered a rarity, then in Russia they were widespread.
In the Moscow Kremlin, bells of this weight category sounded weekdays. Instances weighing up to 600-700 pounds were called polyelein and blessed on memorable days, up to 800-1,000 pounds – were called Sunday and called on Sunday, from 1,000 pounds and above – festive, they notified of great joyful events.
Science Witnesses
According to the famous physicist Photius Shatunov, the bells emit a huge amount of resonant sound waves and thereby cleanse space. Shatunov proved: full-ringing bells kills bacteria within a radius of 70 km and harmonizes space. Unique spiral sound path resulting from impact in the bell is fatal to many pathogens microbes.
Due to the specific power distribution of the sound wave microbial cell structures come into resonance and are destroyed. Even microorganisms like hepatitis virus, spores die anthrax.

Ancient masters possessed the secrets of manufacturing and casting bells with various types of energy emissions. Suggest that they managed to cast bells with selective ringing impact on the pathogenic flora, which then, of course, just guessed.
In the Middle Ages, bells were cast with purposeful anti-epidemiological effect: killing plague pathogens in in one case, smallpox pathogens in another. Alexander Herzen wrote about an old crackling bell that was hoisted on a pedestal honor in one of the Swiss cities, but that he is his ringing saved the inhabitants of this city and its environs from death during plague epidemics!
Russian researchers back in the 70s of the last century found that ailments like causeless anxiety, fears, nervousness and insomnia, perfectly healed by a bell ringing. The conclusions made were simply amazing. It turns out audio recording of raspberry ringing calms even the most violent insane. And listening to music, performed on bells, heals the most severe types of depression and other mental illnesses. Perfectly cures insomnia and raspberry church ringing.
It turns out that ringing a bell contributes to faster the splitting of negative energies and their more complete withdrawal from the biofield person. Moreover, it generates in space exclusively positive energies of white and green colors.
Finally, bells are powerful harmonizers of space, which help a person to resonate with the harmony of the universe, gain physical, energetic, mental and spiritual health.
PEOPLE’S TRUST
The bells were often rung during thunderstorms to avert thunder and lightning and protect all who hear the ringing from material and spiritual threats. “Everywhere you hear the sound of this bell,” one blessing of the eighth century, may hostile forces be removed, also and the shadow of ghosts, a whirlwind, a lightning bolt, a drop of thunder, the destruction of the storm and all kinds of spirits of hurricanes. ”

Bell ringing is indicative of the distinction “pure” and “unclean” time. In all Slavic traditions It is believed that some mythological characters are shown to the eyes of people and are engaged in their evil activity only after the bell rings. Especially this refers to the period from Good Thursday to Good Saturday, when bells, according to church canon, do not ring at all.
The silence of the bells is the time of their grief over the demise and torment of Jesus Christ. So that evil spirits do not have the opportunity triumph of victory and do evil, during this period it was customary replace bell ringing with other sounds: guys went around at night village with bells and rattles, the old women beat branches church floor or benches in the church.
In the East, it is believed that the sound made by a bell corresponds to the sounds of mantras. So the sounding bells come in in resonance with the human power system. When this happens activation of the chakras, amplified energy currents. Is increasing total energy potential of a person. There is a harmonization of all human organs and systems – both at the level of the physical body, and on the subtle plans.
