Darkness at Noon
Jerusalem at midday, three crosses on a hill outside it, and the sun withdrawn from the sixth hour to the ninth. Scroll to watch it.
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Matthew 27:45, as St Augustine gives it
And I will clothe the heaven with darkness, and wrap it around with sackcloth.
Isaiah 50:3, as St Cyril of Alexandria gives it
But when they had affixed to the cross the Lord of all, the sun over their heads withdrew, and the light at midday was wrapped in darkness, as the divine Amos had foretold.
