Locus iste is the Latin gradual for the anniversary of the dedication of a church (Missa in anniversario dedicationis ecclesiae), which in German is called Kirchweih.[1] The incipit Locus iste a Deo factus est translates to "This place was made by God".[2] One of the most famous settings is by the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner.
