Description
The book Santini's Star is a small tribute to the art of builder Jan Blažej Santini-Aichl and his legacy for Žďár nad Sázavou. Photographer Milan Šustr and historian Stanislav Mikule reveal to readers the mysterious symbolism of numbers, unique symmetries of shapes, and the interplay of light and darkness. The spiritual significance of the entire structure and the history of pilgrimages, which are its fundamental meaning, is not overlooked. Santini's Star, the Pilgrimage Church of St. John of Nepomuk on Zelená Hora, has imprinted an unmistakable character on the surrounding landscape. Even after three hundred years, people from all over the world continue to admire it. The church on Zelená Hora is a meeting place for pilgrims from distant lands and a place of spiritual rest. It is a sought-after exclusive destination for tourists as well as for everyday family walks. The book is published on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the consecration of the Pilgrimage Church of St. John of Nepomuk on Zelená Hora.
