Christian churches rang their bells in unison on Sunday to pray for a peaceful resolution to the crisis engulfing Hong Kong.
Some 40 Catholic and other Christian churches rang their bells at 1pm amid continuing clashes between pro-democracy protesters and police.
Organizers said the bell ringing was a peaceful way to “help wake people up.”
Some churches used a singing bowl instead of bells.
Many congregations sang " Sing Hallelujah to the Lord" during the ceremonies. The song has become linked to the current pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
St. Thomas Church rang its bells to the melody "Christus Vincit" which means “Christ is victorious.”
