Being able to see the RTE channel, brought back many memories for me. Before I married my wife, she took me to Ireland to meet her family. Thankfully they approved. I forgot that TV stopped every day at 6pm for "The Angelus Bell". It continues to this day.
The Angelus is usually accompanied by the ringing of the Angelus bell, which is a call to prayer and to spread goodwill to everyone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelus
