The Bell Tower has six stories [or floors] or seven if the dome with the cross is to be included in the counting [but the dome is hardly a floor!]. First floor is the museum-turned-office; second floor, the shrine that houses the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary; third, fourth and fifth, the three balconies; and the most important part of the bell tower, the bell chamber, in sixth floor.

"X" is a multiplication sign or "times sign" -- "sign of the times." We will see multiplied constructions of belfries in the Archdiocese, not the conventional belfries attached to church buildings but "freestanding" belfries, the Church version of obelisks.
