Everything about Noon Bell totally explained
During the
Siege of Belgrade in
1456,
Hungarian noblemen
John Hunyadi (leader of the Hungarian royal army) and
Mihály Szilágyi (Captain of the castle of Nándorfehérvár/ Belgrade) defended the city against the onslaught of the
Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II. During the siege,
Pope Callixtus III ordered the
bells of every church to be rung every day at
noon, as a call for believers to pray for the defenders of the city. However, in many places, news of the victory arrived before the order, and the ringing of the church bells at noon thus transformed into a commemoration of the victory. The Pope didn't withdraw the order, and
Catholic churches still ring the noon bell to this day.
