The Crucifixion

History tells us that on the instant Jesus gave up his mortal life, thunder crashed, lightning split the clouds and a tremendous earthquake shook the land with a roar. The solid stone of Calvary split wide and the Babylonian Veil in the temple was split from top to bottom. People abandoned the burning sacrifices and ran screaming into the streets. A darkness like midnight came down upon Jerusalem at three o'clock and lasted for the rest of the day. The frightful impact of the wrath of God was voiced by the Roman Centurion Abenadar when he bowed his head and murmured, "Assuredly, this man was the Son of God."
