The Steel Magnolia

Most interesting development!

I was surfing around on the Cassiopaea website that I mentioned finding previously and found there an article about Saint Malachy - the guy who supposedly made prophecies about the Popes. The article says:

Skipping over the details of all the other prophecies, we come to the mystical title of the present pope: De labore Solis the labour of the sun. Some analysts have suggested that this can also mean “the eclipse of the sun.” Either way, it works.

Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse. Before the present solar maximum, analysts attempted to explain this prophecy by pointing out that Wojtyla came from behind the former Iron Curtain and they made references to “the Woman Clothed with the Sun who was described as being in labor in Revelation 12 because of his devotion to the Virgin Mary.

Well, what’s so interesting about that, you ask? Notice that Pope John-Paul II was born during a solar eclipse. Today I read the following (which I sent to the Cassiopaea site owners right away):

Partial solar eclipse on Friday

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — Sky-watchers from the South Pacific to the Americas will witness the first solar eclipse of 2005 on Friday when the moon blots out part of the sun. It will be a partial eclipse rather than a total one, in which the Earth is cast into darkness. But it will be the last partial solar eclipse visible from the continental United States until May 20, 2012. […]

It sure is curious that this recent pope was born during an eclipse and will be buried during an eclipse.

I wonder if there is any significance to the area that will experience the eclipse? I mean, does that designate any sort of “darkness” falling on those areas in the sense of global events?

Anyway, I think that this is very interesting considering my idea that Nostradamus predicted the Scandalous death of Terri Schiavo.
