7 p.m. Friday, March 22

in the Marfield Room,

Trinity Episcopal Church 

371 Delaware Ave., Buffalo

 

Join us for an exciting evening exploring ways ancient and modern cultures around the world experience and interpret a solar eclipse. When the world is plunged into total darkness, even for only a few minutes, can be a dramatic and life-altering spiritual experience.

 

Fred Harold Jensen will explore how the brief midday darkness of the umbra has imbued meaning into the human experience throughout time. He will lead a conversation on how Far East, Norse, Native American, Monotheistic, and modern cultures have considered the ethereal celestial phenomenon of the Total Solar Eclipses.
