If a [[Minimal surface|minimal surface]] passes through a straight line $l$, then $l$ is its axis of symmetry. This theorem implies that if the boundary of a minimal surface contains a segment of this line $l$, then this surface can be extended across this segment symmetrically with respect to $l$.
