Roman Catholic AnswerThey are not wooden bells, they are called clappers, they are a wooden instrument that, when shaken, makes a knocking noise. All through Lent we "lose" things, the organ, flowers on the altar. A lot of this is not required anymore, but statues and crucifixes used to be covered in violet or black cloth, etc. We finally lost the bells themselves, which are replaced by clappers, and then everything is restored at the Easter Vigil when Jesus Christ, Himself, restored to life, restores our life at the resurrection!
