As it happens, on Friday, April 3, 33 AD, there was a lunar eclipse.
“Christian texts mention that the Moon turned to blood after Jesus’s crucifixion—potentially referring to a lunar eclipse, during which the Moon takes on a reddish hue.” NASA learned about this in the 1990s.
According to biblical scholars Colin Humphreys and W Graeme Waddington of the University of Oxford.
Joel’s Old Testament prophecy that the moon will turn to blood and the day of the Lord would arrive accurately mirrored what transpired when Jesus died.
According to their report, there has been years of discussion on the exact day and year of the Crucifixion, but no consensus has been reached.
