1934 AD — Vilnius
Jesus revealed to St. Faustina specific signs that would precede the Day of Justice: "Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort: all light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the Cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Saviour were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day." (Diary 83). This prophecy describes dramatic celestial phenomena — total darkness followed by a luminous Cross in the sky — as the final warning sign before Christ returns as the Just Judge. It echoes biblical apocalyptic imagery from Matthew 24 and Revelation, while adding specific details not found in Scripture.
