  La Sagrada Familia@Everything2.com
The title Temple Expiatori (expiatory temple) indicates that the building of the church is meant to atone for sin and to appeal for God's mercy on Catalunya.
La Sagrada Familia is on a North-South axis, with the altar and apse at the north.
The reason for this is to be found in the symbolism of the church's three façades: the façade of life, with imagery of plants and animals, the birth of Christ and his early life, faces the east, so the sun shines on it in the morning, in keeping with its theme of beginnings.
