Shot on 8mm film in 1976, this vintage home movie captures a scene in Bethlehem, Israel. The grainy, blue-tinted footage shows a stone courtyard with figures in dark robes, likely clergy, near a historic building. Two men in formal suits shake hands in the foreground, one wearing sunglasses. The clip concludes with a view of a white church facade topped with a cross and a statue, framed by palm fronds against a deep blue sky. The footage evokes a sense of religious history and personal memory from the mid-1970s.
