Our Lady and the Solar Eclipse April 8th
« on: March 16, 2024, 02:27:07 PM »
This year, because March 25th falls during Holy Week, the Feast of the Annunciation is transferred to the first Monday after Low Sunday, or April 8th.

You know, the day of the total solar eclipse.

Our Lady and the sun once again, just like at Fatima.

Apparently it starts at a town called Jonah and ends at one with the same name.... I think that's what I heard but not 100% sure.

Just to clarify, this is in reference to the Annunciation.  I know we all know that, but I had to stop and think about it for a moment.

So, another "coincidence" just occurred to me.  There's also going to be a lunar eclipse on ... March 25.

So a lunar eclipse on the ordinary Feast of the Annunciation, and a solar eclipse on the transferred-to date this year.

Sometimes there's an analogy made between Our Lord being like the sun and Our Lady like the moon (no, I'm not a sun-worshipper).

In any case, one could almost say that the Feast of the Annunciation (lunar eclipse) is giving way to April 8th (solar eclipse), while the Feast of the Annunciation is giving way to Our Lord's Passion.

Could that symbolize Our Lady giving way to Our Lord?  If you recall, Our Lady often spoke about how she's staying Our Lord's justice.  Is this a sign that she's giving way and that Our Lord's justice is about to strike the earth?

Of course, I believe this so-called "penumbral" eclipse will result in a blood-red moon, but perhaps that's just during a regular eclipse.

Pretty interesting; it's nice to hear some Catholic context about the eclipse. My coworkers are mostly trying to line up the timing to US-only events, such as grid takeover, alien reveals, and protestant eisegesis of the rapture, as if we are the center of the world, haha. We're located in the path of totality, so the local news has been hyping up the event.

Total eclipses happen about every 18 months around the world, so I wonder if it could be just another natural phenomenon on the 8th, with an artificial importance? Have other eclipses lined up with important feast days? In 2017 I remember a friend giving me a pamphlet about the Apocalypse and some celestial event regarding Virgo and the Sun, but nothing happened.
