-Importance: After the divisive Civil War, Americans sought a symbol of unity. To help heal the wounds of the war, the Liberty Bell would travel across the country.
Starting in the 1880s, the Bell traveled to cities throughout the land "proclaiming liberty" and inspiring the cause of freedom. A replica of the Liberty Bell, forged in 1915, was used to promote women's suffrage. It traveled the country with its clapper chained to its side, silent until women won the right to vote. On September 25, 1920, it was brought to Independence Hall and rung in ceremonies celebrating the ratification of the 19th amendment.

Sometimes it is depicted with an Olive Branch in its mouth. Also within the picture it may have light shining down upon it as if it truly was the Holy Spirit.
- Use within Liturgy: First off it doesn't have a specific use, but if we think about it the Dove represents peace of the deepest kind. The Dove can be inturperted into the sign of peace. If we just take moment and think about the Dove when exchanging peace, we really can exchange the Holy Spirit.
-Scripture Reference: "On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a Dove, descending upon him" (Mark 1:10) This passage reminds us how symbolic these symbols really are, and how they really can put direction into your life.

- Use Within Liturgy: the crucifix is placed in the center of the altar at the front of the mass for all to see; it reminds use that liturgy is a celebration of the Paschal Mystery; it is the center of the entire religion and everything encompasses around it.
- Scripture Reference: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19); this passage is what starts and ends all liturgy or prayer in the Catholic faith, and it is the center of the religion; reminds use and puts us into Christ's shows with doing the sign of the cross on our bodies; it is how we enter this world and how we leave this world.
