Recordist's notes

Corpus Christi procession @ Spycimierz, title song : U drzwi Twoich stoję Panie ( I stand at the door of your Lord ) Every year, thousands of tourists flock to the village of Spycimierz with its 400 inhabitants, 75 km north-west of Łódź. They are drawn by the carpets of flowers which the people of Spycimierz use to decorate the Corpus Christi procession route in observance of a 200-year-old tradition. Visitors will be able to view floral depictions of Bible scenes accompanied by geometric and floral images along a two-kilometre stretch of road, which are first prepared using sand that is then filled with leaves, grass and flowers gathered for days. The carpets are so splendid that local authorities decided to establish a Corpus Christi Trail to attract tourists throughout the entire year.
