The ceremony of the sunbeam in the Cathedral returns next March 25, after three years, for the Pisan New Year. Because of the works it was not possible to celebrate the entry into the new year with the solar clock, which at 12 o'clock a window in the central aisles penetrates a beam that illuminates the egg-shaped shelf placed on the pillar next to the pulpit by Giovanni Pisano. This will be the moment when the city, recalling the Pisan-style calendar, will enter the new year, 2020, nine months before the rest of the world.

The ceremony will be preceded by the historical parade that from Piazza XX Settembre (10 am) will cross the city streets until you reach the Cathedral, where the Madonna will be paid with prayers for Pisa, until the solemn Blessing of Archbishop Giovanni Paolo Benotto.
