   {Sanctus bell}, a small bell usually suspended in a bell cot
      at the apex of the nave roof, over the chancel arch, in

      at the conclusion of the ordinary of the Mass, and again
      at the elevation of the host. Called also {Mass bell},
      {sacring bell}, {saints' bell}, {sance-bell}, {sancte
      bell}.
