Do you know the legend of the Bell? 🔔
Many know the "Bell of Capri," but not everyone knows that behind this precious lucky charm jewelry, usually given to loved ones, there is an ancient legend, that of Saint Michael's Little Bell. ❤️
"On the island of Capri lived a little shepherd, very poor and fatherless, who owned no material possessions except his little sheep. One evening, at dusk, he stopped to pick some flowers and when he turned to call the sheep, it was no longer there. Taken by despair, he thought he heard a distant ringing and, thinking it was the bell of his sheep, he headed toward the tinkle. He ran barefoot through brambles and over stones until he reached the edge of a ravine. A sudden light dazzled him: it was Saint Michael on his white horse."
"My child," said the saint, taking off a little bell hanging on his chest, "take it and always follow the sound; it will save you from every danger."
The little shepherd brought the gift to his mother, and the bell came out of his pockets wrapped in a four-leaf clover frame. Since then, his life changed forever and every earthly desire was fulfilled.
Villa San Michele was built on the site of the Saint's apparition, now known worldwide.
Since then, the Bell of Capri has been a symbol of luck and happiness, and legend has it that the Bell of Capri should be given to people considered truly special because, with every chime, every wish will come true. ❤️
