The unique Festival of the Sun and Light<\/em> in the Church of the Holy Cross has developed from valuable architectural and astronomical significance of this 9th century. English architect named it the smallest cathedral in the world.<\/p>\n It is interesting, and you could come to visit it and visit Nin<\/em>. Magical play of the Sun, light and shadows is displayed inside the church, therefore some experts compare it to Stonehenge. There is a special relationship between the Sun and the church, visible through light communication. The church is used as the Sun`s solar clock and calendar.<\/p>\n On the first day of summer, 21th June, during the summer solstice, in the church`s central apse the light can be observed for two hours of the morning; between 10.30 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. During these hours the Sun is positioned very high in the sky and at this point minimum amount of light rays enter the church.<\/p>\n On the first day of spring, at 10.00 a.m., the equinox light rays are entering parallel through 3 windows forming three parallel oval shapes in the middle of the church. The same formation of the Sun rays happens on the first day of autumn , at 11.00 a.m. due to daylight saving time.<\/p>\n On the first day of winter, the first morning sun rays are visible in the church and exactly at noon all the Sun rays disappear.<\/p>\n You must come and see it.
