O knihe
According to the Christian synoptic gospels, on the day Jesus was crucified, darkness covered the land for hours, an event which later came to be referred to as the "crucifixion eclipse". Various Christian historians have associated this darkness with prophecies and with other reports about eclipses or periods of darkness. Using this period of darkness as a marker, astronomers have suggested specific dates for Jesus' crucifixion. Jesus' crucifixion took place around Passover, the middle of the lunar month and the time of a full moon. Solar eclipses naturally take place only at the time of the new moon. For this reason, medieval commentators viewed the darkness as a miraculous event rather than a natural one. Humphreys' and Waddington's reconstruction of the Jewish calendar, associating the crucifixion with a lunar eclipse rather than a solar eclipse, has been used to infer the date of the crucifixion. In the Gospel of Mark, the miraculous darkness accompanies the temple curtain being torn in two. Some scholars question the historicity of the darkness in the Gospel of Mark and suggest that it may have been a literary creation intended to add drama.
