England: An eclipse and the Antichrist — 29 June 1033
”Just as the superstitious idolatries of Antichrist were arrived at their height by
overspreading the Christian world, upon June 29 (which is by some called St. Peter’s day) at six o’clock in the morning, a terrible eclipse of the sun happened, in which he became like sapphire; so that it made men’s countenances look pale, as if they had been dead; and every thing in the air seemed of a saffron colour.” There is no unusual aerial phenomenon here, only an assumed connection between a religious incident (the arrival of the Antichrist) and a solar eclipse. 28C
