It just came to my attention that Rosh Hashanah is a feast that is associated with darkness because---It occurs at the New Moon when the primary night light of the heavens is darkened---Also, it is the only feast that begins on a New Moon----Amos prophesied of the day of the Lord being a day of darkness----"Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.....Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?"  Amos 5:18-20------This very well could be the reason why God scheduled the first fall feast after a long period of silence to begin on a dark night-----This could also have something to do with the midnight cry------
