A twelve-pointed star is seen installed on top of one of the towers of Basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. The newly installed star on the tower of the Virgin Mary will become the second-highest column in the Basilica of the Sagrada Family. The highest column among the towers is the Jesus Christ tower. The star will illuminate the Basilica on December 8, the feast of Immaculate Conception. The Basilica of the Sagrada Familia is a cathedral masterpiece of Antoni Gaudi. It is a famous Basilica that took more than a hundred years to be built but is still unfinished. (Photo by Thiago Prudencio/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)
