“As often as you hear the tinkling bell. Do not forget to praise and give thanks to your God, who rules over all the stars.”
The clock in the Chapel of the Dead is a replica of the one which was destroyed in March 1942. The facade is divided into three parts: at the very bottom the calendar disc, in the centre the planetarium with the zodiac, sun and moon with indicated lunar phases. Above it the circulating figures – eight representatives of the peoples of the earth.
If you are in the church at noon, you can watch the figures circulating: the eight people step out one by one from the left dark door, are blessed by Jesus – wearing a red cape – and disappear through the brightly lit right door.
By the way, the astronomical clock is preset until the year 2080. So you can already see on which day your next round birthday will fall.
