Campanological discovery of the year: In Belgium, France, and Italy, children are told that when church bells fall silent from Good Friday until Easter, the bells have flown off to Rome. As these itinerant bells fly back, they drop colored eggs and candy into gardens for kids to find! Oh wonder of wondrousness, I've never heard a more absurd or delightful bell story in my life. When Easter comes around, you know the one thing on my shopping list will be... chocolate bells. Lots of chocolate bells. So much to be thankful for in that hallowed season!
