Recordist's notes
This church was built upon a cave in which they say Jesus was fed with milk during the first weeks of his life. Today hundreds of religious pelgrims are visiting this place; some of them singing, chanting and praying ritual songs. While I was recording the ambiance, a group of polish tourists came in.
