Leaving the Adoration service held on the outside altar at Medjugorje on Wednesday night, someone asked me, “Did you see the moon turn red tonight?”
Okay, it was a shade reddish-brown, but I sensed that the question was asked with the prophecy from Revelation in mind, about the full moon turning blood red (6 : 12-14).
Of course, there was a perfectly logical explanation – a lunar eclipse, apparently the longest for more than a decade and observed in many parts of the world.
But, dare I say, that a scientific explanation will not be acceptable to everyone who observed the phenomenon in Medjugorje that night.
