Churches should put in bells and start ringing them. Muslims hate the sound of church bells.

Traditionally prayers are also five times a day, from Infogalactic

  1. Matins (during the night, at midnight with some); also called Vigils or Nocturns or, in monastic usage, the Night Office
  2. Lauds or Dawn Prayer (at Dawn, or 3 a.m.)
  3. Prime or Early Morning Prayer (First Hour = approximately 6 a.m.)
  4. Terce or Mid-Morning Prayer (Third Hour = approximately 9 a.m.)
  5. Sext or Midday Prayer (Sixth Hour = approximately 12 noon)
  6. None or Mid-Afternoon Prayer (Ninth Hour approximately 3 p.m.)
  7. Vespers or Evening Prayer ("at the lighting of the lamps", generally at 6 p.m.)
  8. Compline or Night Prayer (before retiring, generally at 9 p.m.)

Yes, and on the feast days the Nativity of our Lord, Pascha (Easter), etc. There are MANY feast days! The Eastern Orthodox Church makes it an art form.
