Snack time

While I was waiting for my falafel here:I spotted this ball (or how could I call it otherwise?) on one of the roofs nearby: Usually such balls can be found on top of the churches, and usually in there real treasures are held. In there could be found documents with names of the people who built churches, when they were renovated, who renovated them, who gave money for them, why the church was built, and sometimes also relics are added to these documents. Most people don't know that such treasures are kept on the top of churches. I wonder if the ball on this roof also holds such treasures...

Indeed, what a fantastic tradition. I've walled up newspapers, photos and various arts, but this ball thing is interesting.
