(WARNING RELIGION ALERT!!)

.... and, for many a year, that timing (Full Moon) has seemed WRONG to me!!

As part of Christ's Crucifixion on Good Friday, the World is supposed to 
have gone DARK for several hours. If, rather than it happening on a Full 
Moon, if it had happened on a New Moon which was also an Eclipse, that 
would have sent The World dark but only for a few minutes rather than 
for several hours!!
