Abstract
In the Passion Narrative of the gospel of Mark, darkness covers the land for a three-hour period preceding the death of Jesus. The darkness ends at the ninth hour when Jesus cries out in abandonment to god, but no human being appears to be aware of the darkness. This raises questions about the significance of the descent of darkness in Mark’s gospel.
