Knowing directions are critical, many addresses in Costa Rica are based on distance and direction from those churches. Knowing directions are critical, many addresses in Costa Rica are based on distance and direction from those churches.I know there is a reason but I don't remember. The average ‘error’ is only 4 degrees, which is pretty good.There are some tendencies that are very interesting: mainly that a church is more likely to be aligned north of east if the church itself is situated in the west of the country. This however I can not confirm 100%. I am Costarican. There is a wonderful article on the orientation of churches For those who do not have the time to immerse themselves… the answer is yes, churches do face east , but not perfectly and the discrepancy varies with location. . I’ve taken many self guided tours lately of some of the older Churches in my area, I was always told that a church would normaly be built so that the people (and in those days Priest’s) would be facing East, however I’ve been to 30+ churches over the last few months and have not noticed this being any kind of a majority, in fact the direction the church faces seems random, can anyone advise? He is going to find his notes and books and tell me the reason, so maybe if you give me more time I can tell you the reason.like the Muslims that cant face their butt towards Mecca.I live in Costa Rica but i dunno what you are talking aboutHow do you think about the answers? That is, the entry doors faced north and the wall behind the altar faced south. This tradition is based on the belief that when Jesus returns, the departed will rise from the grave already facing his direction.

Presuming the church had been constructed so that a priest celebrating Mass would face the east, the deceased at the funeral would face in that same direction. This is a trend that the author, Ian Hinton, says can be carried outside this country and will hold as far as a survey done in Denmark.Ian Hinton does not have a working explanation for this and I do not have a confident answer, but one theory that might be worth testing is whether the discrepancies correlate with a change in magnetic variation/declination (the angle between the magnetic north pole and the geographic north pole from any location). This would automatically lead to inherent ‘trends’ in different parts of the country. Today's cemeteries composed of east-facing tombstones arise from Judeo-Christian beliefs. As Among the world's largest and most architecturally significant churches, many were built to serve as cathedrals or abbey churches. The categories below are not exclusive. Some The architectural form which cathedrals took was largely dependent upon their Cathedrals are not always large buildings.
