Yuval Yairi, Observation Point
A house of worship was built inside of a swamp. The temple remains but the swamp no longer exists – or does it? The wetlands are a mysterious place. If a church can be erected here, anything is possible…
According to Jan Dlugosz’ Chronicles, after a long lost monstrance was found in the Mathe swamp in Krakow, King Casimir had the Corpus Christi Church erected on the wetlands.
