Mallorca - the miracle

The miracle - Milagro de la Luz - happens every year on 2nd February or 11th November, as the sun rays of the morning sun shining through the colored panes of large main rosette on the east side. The projection of the ornament is thrown directly below the smaller rosette on the west facade.

 

The two circular, colorful patterns are then so exactly with one another, that an eight arises.

 

The eight has a very positive meaning in Christianity. After the 7 days of God's creation, the 8-th day is a sign of a new beginning.

 

Seen in the cathedral La Seu in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
