Black Saturday (1621)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black Saturday is a term used in Scotland to describe a particularly dark, stormy Saturday that occurred on 4 August 1621. Many regarded the foul weather as a judgment of Heaven against Acts then passed[1] in the Scots Parliament tending to establish Episcopacy.[2] Many suicides were recorded on this day, as some saw the foul weather as a preparatory for Armageddon.[3]
