1492: Conquest of Paradise - The bell scene

An amazing scene from "1492 - Conquest of Paradise", the 1992 movie by Ridley Scott about the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus.

Starring Gerard Depardieu, Armand Assante and Sigourney Weaver, with a great music score by the Greek composer Vangelis. "My dear sons, In unbearable heat, we are building the first city of the New World.

I brought the plans of a Florentine architect, Leonardo da Vinci.

God willing, we will establish his ideal city.

We are trying to adapt to the Indian diet.

Meat is only a memory for us.

But in less than a week, the mill will be ready to produce our first flour.

Soon, we'll be eating our own bread.

Never again will I underestimate its taste or the simple comfort of home. You are always in my thoughts. Forever, your Father."

Personal reflection:

Let the church bells ring in all the Catholic Churches throughout the world.

Let the people be reminded to make the Sign of the Cross and kneel to worship God.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
