The dagger

Once viewed as a whole and the angle for viewing is eastward, the Bell Tower looks like a staggering, gigantic dagger -- standing by its handle planted on the grounds while the sword tip pointed to the heavens. If one ever noticed the four end corners of the roof in the second floor which are curving upward, this section of the structure resembles the quillons [see knife anatomy 8] of the charax dagger. The charax is double-edged and the middle part of the two edges is hollowed. I recall the nightmare I have had where I found myself levitating inside the hollowed middle of the huge vertical tapering structure.

The bell chamber

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.

The 'X' sign on the ceiling of the bell chamber and the clock

"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.
