Recordist's notes
The chanting of the mosque is heard in the background and in the foreground a group of Palestinian policemen talking in Arabic. There is a mix of locals and tourists, mostly Christians visiting the Church of the Nativity in Belen, where Jesus Christ is said to have been born. It is a sunny and busy day and you can also hear the voices of the people in the streets and the birds.
