What travelers say:
The clock was a little unclear at night. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, the psychology is still a little inexplicable nervous. After all, time, no one can control.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Eucharist Clock is a large sculptural clock conceived and funded by John C. Taylor. The Eucharistic Clock was listed as an outstanding invention of 2008 by Time magazine and appeared in the Indian film "Father". The face of the Eucharistic Clock is a 24-karat gold-plated stainless steel disc approximately 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in diameter. It has no hands and numerals, but displays the time via blue LEDs. The main visual feature of the clock is a metal sculpture of an insect resembling a grasshopper or locust, and time seems to be constantly being devoured by this monster. The inscription below the clock is in Latin 1 John 2:17: mundustransitetconcupiscentiaeius. As a work of public art, it reminds viewers in a dramatic way that time must pass.

确实是一个有趣的时钟,吸引了很多游客。我们坐在附近角落的剑桥公馆外,有幸观看了时钟上走过的一段时间。如果你想拍张照,你需要有耐心,因为有时候这里确实有点拥挤,以至于人们会把人行道和马路都堵上。但仍然非常值得等待。
这是一面外观奇怪的巨大金钟,它坐落在市中心一面窗前。钟的顶部是一直大蝗虫样的生物,它的腿是时针,嘴是秒针,看上去是在吞噬着一分一秒,如果你走近看,仿佛还能看到它的眼睛在闪着光芒。
