▁and ▁temple ▁b ells ▁▁ ▁In ▁the ▁Eastern ▁world , ▁the ▁traditional ▁forms ▁of ▁b ells ▁are ▁temple ▁and ▁palace ▁b ells , ▁small ▁ones ▁being ▁r ung ▁by ▁a ▁sharp ▁rap ▁with ▁a ▁stick , ▁and ▁very ▁large ▁ones ▁r ung ▁by ▁a ▁blow ▁from ▁the ▁outside ▁by ▁a ▁large ▁swing ing ▁beam . ▁( See ▁images ▁of ▁the ▁great ▁bell ▁of ▁M ii - der a ▁below .) ▁ ▁The ▁striking ▁technique ▁is ▁employed ▁world wide ▁for ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁largest ▁tower - bor ne ▁b ells , ▁because ▁swing ing ▁the ▁b ells ▁themselves ▁could ▁damage ▁their ▁to wers . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁Roman ▁Catholic ▁Church ▁and ▁among ▁some ▁High ▁Luther ans ▁and ▁Ang lic ans , ▁small ▁hand - h eld ▁b ells , ▁called ▁San ct us ▁or ▁sac ring ▁b ells , ▁are ▁often ▁r ung ▁by ▁a ▁server ▁at ▁Mass ▁when ▁the ▁priest ▁holds ▁high ▁up ▁first ▁the ▁host ▁and ▁then ▁the ▁ch al ice ▁immediately ▁after ▁he ▁has ▁said ▁the ▁words ▁of ▁consec r ation ▁over ▁them ▁( the ▁moment ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁E lev ation ). ▁This ▁serves ▁to ▁indicate ▁to ▁the ▁con greg ation ▁that ▁the ▁bread ▁and ▁wine ▁have ▁just ▁been ▁transformed ▁into ▁the ▁Body ▁and ▁Blood ▁of ▁Christ ▁( see ▁trans ub st anti ation ), ▁or , ▁in ▁the ▁alternative ▁Re formation ▁teaching , ▁that ▁Christ ▁is ▁now ▁bod ily ▁present ▁in ▁the ▁elements , ▁and ▁that ▁what ▁the ▁priest ▁is ▁holding ▁up ▁for ▁them ▁to ▁look ▁at ▁is ▁Christ
