  IMG_1914.JPG - Lok for the red light in the center and up about 80% of the way up ... You'll have to read about the Nail from the True Cross which is kept up behind the Red light... the tiny dot.. And don’t miss the little red bulbAbove the apse (the arched part above the altar) there is a spot marked with a red lightbulb. This marks the spot where one of the nails of Jesus’ crucifixion was allegedly placed. Every year on the Saturday closest to September 14 the archbishop of Milan ascends to the apex in a wooden basket decorated with angels to retrieve the nail. The basket itself was constructed in 1577, though it was significantly reconstructed in 1701 when the angels were added. But you’ve got to be visiting at the right time – the nail is exhibited at the altar until the Monday after vespers before it’s lifted back up again.
