dc.description.abstract	We measure the orientation of 297 early Christian churches (mainly in the Eastern Illyricum) by remote sensing (i.e. Google Earth). Of this, we select a subset of 194 churches that do not seem restricted in their placement by their surroundings, and conclude that 98% of them point within the solar sunrise arc. The mean orientation is towards the equinox sunrise, although the concept of equinox seems ambiguous. Even if there is some circumstantial evidence, there seems to be no accepted custom of orientation based on the date of foundation, on the sunrise on the patron saint’s feast, or towards the sunrise on major feasts. © 2018 MAA Open Access.
