Stuck in Hades in Zork

I was really far in the game and went to the cellar to then being eaten by something (I forgot) and got transported to Hades.

I read a thing saying to go to an altar and pray but I don’t know where it is. You start off with being in front of a bell which you can’t pick up (your hand goes through it). The only way you can go is South (or East) and get to the candles, matchbook and black book. You can’t read the book, light candles or light a match. You can only go back to where you started, AKA going North. What do I do? I’d rather not start over.
