The Three Days of Darkness is an eschatological concept regarding future events, held by some Catholics to be true.[1] The prophecy foretells three days and nights of "an intense darkness"[2] over the whole earth, against which the only light will come from blessed beeswax candles, and during which "all the enemies of the Church ... will perish."[2]
The prophecy parallels the Ten Plagues against Egypt in the Book of Exodus (Ex. 10:21–29).[3] The Apocalypse of John also mentions a plague of unnatural darkness as an effect of the fifth vial (Rev. 16:10).[4]Rev 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, However, the specifics of the "Three Days of Darkness" prophecy are derived from private revelation.[clarification needed]
There are some attempts to claim that the sixth seal will provide some plague of unnatural darkness (Rev. 6:12)[5]"Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;"
