Maria Minor church (Sancta Maria Minor kyrka) is a church rediscovered after archaeological surveys in Lund, Sweden.
A post church with palisade walls, also called Sancta Maria, was discovered in 1911 on a site just south of the great square, Stortorget. That church had been built in the mid 11th century, 1060 is postulated through dendrocronological dating, at a time when several stave churches were erected in Lund.

“A certain minor light may still
Leap incandescent
Out of kitchen table or chair
As if a celestial burning took
Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then—”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“He prayed more deeply for simple selflessness than he had ever prayed before—and, feeling an uprush of grace in the very intention, shed the night in his heart and called it light. And walking out of the little church he felt confirmed in not only the worth of his whispered prayer but in the realization, as well, that Christ had become man and not some bell-shaped Corinthian column with volutes for veins and a mandala of stone foliage for a heart.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
