The strongest is the number 12! (2/2)

If we think we can find the number 12 anywhere around us.

12 are the Olympic gods – from Aphrodite to Zeus, 12 hours is half a day, 12 is a dozen, an arithmetic system based on the number 12 is used for centuries before the one based on the number 10.

12 are also the lunar phases of one year.

In the Bible the number 12 is common – 12 are the apostles spreading the word of God, 12 are the psalms that are sung in the night, the 12 tribes of Israel.

There was a period during which Christmas lasted 12 days and 12 nights. The holy city of Jerusalem has 12 doors and 12 angels.

Even the music subordinates its rhythm to the mystic 12 – the Dodekafonia is a system that consists of 12 equal degrees, and for each musical work is chosen a 12-degree series (series), which includes all 12 tones of the chromatic range. The first composer created such a remarkable work is Arnold Schönberg.

But not here is the mysterious force of the number and its presence around us – 12 are the months of the year, 12 are the zodiacal signs. This number embodies all manifestations of matter and spirit, all the rhythms of the universe and human nature.
