  We present a new type of soliton solutions in nonlinear photonic systems with
discrete point-symmetry. These solitons have their origin in a novel mechanism
of breaking of discrete symmetry by the presence of nonlinearities. These
so-called nodal solitons are characterized by nodal lines determined by the
discrete symmetry of the system. Our physical realization of such a system is a
2D nonlinear photonic crystal fiber owning C6v symmetry.
