In the last half hour I have been doing a Langston scene. I read there could be no eclipse at the time of Jesus; death, because a full moon happens on Passover. However, the new moon happens on Shavout, when Jews read from the Book of Ruth on the Mount of Olives. Jesus cursed the fig tree wen coming down from the Mount of Olives where he bid his disciples not to fall asleep as he read the book of his ancestors in his family tree. As fate would have it, the first rainbow marks the Shavout. Need I say I looked forward to working with Erin Sullivan, who wounded me. “In Jub. 6:15-22 and 44:1-5, the holiday is traced to the appearance of the first rainbow on the 15th of Sivan, the day on which God made his covenant with Noah.”
