As the sun &laquo;moves&raquo; from east to west &#8211; or more precisely &#8211; as the earth rotates from west to east, the shadow will move from left (6:00 a.m.) to midway (12:00 midday) and on to the right (6:00 p.m). The high weapon-house roof will, at times of the year, cast a shadow on the sundial in the evenings. <br><br>This is another indication that the church, from the beginnings, did not have such an additional building. In the Catholic times, in clear weather, the sundial could have served as a guide to the priests at the masses and prayers &#8211; eight in all &#8211; they had to perform. In 1973, the sundial was restored by Auden Nedal with a new adjusted brass plate. The letters HT in the upper left corner of the stone may indicate that Hans Nielsen Tausan, a priest interested in astronomy, could have had something to to with the sundial.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a sundial.
