Before widespread literacy and the availability of personal timepieces, churches helped communities keep time through bell ringing at set intervals. Monastic schedules for prayer, known as the Liturgy of the Hours, formed a backbone for local routines. Townspeople relied on these auditory signals for everything from starting work to ending a day in the fields. As mechanical clocks and personal watches became more affordable, reliance on church bells diminished. Still, some regions maintain the tradition, preserving a communal sense of rhythm tied to historical timekeeping practices.
