EN: Angelus bell; souls in purgatory
This is the sound of church bells ringing at 6 PM, signaling it's time for the Angelus prayer. For older generations, it meant everything stops. Kids had to go home, people would pause and pray. Today, it's that nostalgic sound you might hear in the province that reminds you to log off from work. It's also linked to the 'kaluluwa' or souls in purgatory, for whom the prayers are often offered.
From Spanish 'ánimas' (souls).
Primarily used in a religious, specifically Catholic, context. The term is less common among younger, urban populations.
