“…The motive for performing the analysis was a widely accepted opinion, which was based on the statements presented in the book “Number of the Light” (Pejaković, 1978) - that the orientation of the church has a solar meaning, or, more precisely, that the obvious irregularities in the construction of the church were a result of the master builder’s intention to create a building which would simultaneously serve as a house of prayer, a calendar and a sundial.
