Ringing the Bell of Hope
Trinity's Rector, the Rev. Phillip A. Jackson, rings the Bell of Hope in St. Paul’s Churchyard in a pattern of “four fives” (five strikes, repeated four times), the traditional firefighters’ salute to the fallen. Following prayers, the bell is rung precisely at 8:46am, the time when the first plane crashed into 1 World Trade Center (North Tower).
The bell, a gift from London to New York City a year after the attacks, is rung on September 11 anniversaries. Join us for this brief and moving service.
