Chimes from Crusader times: Recreating Nativity Church's Medieval music
Mid-13th century Crusaders buried the 13 bronze bells near the church on the eve of a Muslim offensive, slathering them in animal fat to protect them from rust
Father Stephane, Franciscan Friar and Liturgist of the Custody of the Holy Land holds an organ pipe, part of a collection from the 12th century that researchers say used to play music inside Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity and was hidden together with bells by Crusaders.
