On two days a year - the feast day of Saint Martin on 11 November and Candlemas (today) - the positioning of the giant eastern window of Palma Cathedral allows early morning sunlight at dawn to pass through the Cathedral and form a reflection below the smaller western window. The phenomenon, known as "8", occurs around 8 in the morning, the appearance of this "8" being the double rosette of the western window and the reflected eastern window, which is also known as the Gothic eye.
