The daily disappearance and the subsequent rise of the sun appeared to many of the ancients as a true resurrection; thus, while the east came to be regarded as the source of light and warmth, happiness and glory, the west was associated with darkness and chill, decay and death.

To effect this, Vitruvius, two thousand years ago, gave precise rules, which are still followed by Christian architects.
