The Blood Moon, a symbol of feminine mourning in the ancient world.


A lunar eclipse was present at the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In the ancient world the moon represented the feminine and would have been interpreted in light of the suffering of the Virgin Mary over the death of her Son. It is also significant because it is the only time in astronomical history when a solar darkening event and a lunar eclipse occurred simultaneously.

2000 years ago the cross was a Roman symbol of death and terror. Jesus Christ transformed this symbol into a universal sign of God's love, hope and resurrection. Solar eclipse events are recorded in Roman mythology during the conception of Romulus and Remus by the war god Mars and during the foundation of the city of Rome. The solar eclipse to the Romans was a sign from their gods that war was upon the Earth. The solar eclipse symbol of the star/pellet within the crescent on Roman coins and legionary standards was also a sign of their god's approval of Roman domination over conquered lands. Fifteen hundred years later, the "Our Lady of Guadalupe" Icon was presented to the New World as an inverted Roman Legionary Standard. Jesus Christ changed these symbols of Roman domination and slavery into an everlasting sign of God's love and compassion.
