Question about Good Friday processional
« Reply #5 on: April 27, 2011, 12:11:06 AM »
In Latin it is called a crotalus, which means rattle, though we tend to call it a clacker or clapper.

It is used to replace the usual bell (which signifies joy) to impress the sorrowful mood of Our Lord's Passion.

Hope this helps.
