It was discovered a total eclipse did actually occur in Jerusalem on 24 November 29 CE at around 11AM. This fact got dismissed by the Church because the date is not in accordance with Easter. historians: we found out the actual date Jesus was crucified! Catholic Church: how dare you question our appropriation of pagan holidays? Okay but could you imagine being a Roman, nailing up some dude who’s like “I’m the son of god, bruh” and then the fucking sun goes black. I’d shit

A screenshot-style meme presents a supposed historical discovery about a solar eclipse occurring during Jesus’s crucifixion, followed by humorous comments from historians, the Catholic Church, and an imagined Roman soldier. The punchline is the absurd reaction to the sun suddenly going dark while crucifying someone who claims to be the son of God, while also joking about the Church’s use of pagan holidays.
