The *crotalus* or wooden clapper is an instrument used in churches across the world in Lenten season, especially during the Holy Week. Its sound evokes feelings of repentance, sacrifice, and remorse. Incidentally, natives of some countries like Hungary use it irrespective of religion, during celebrations. When did Catholic churches start using the *crotalus* for functions during the Holy Week?
