The end of the world is predicted to coincide exactly with the time
of the Winter Solstice. If we write out the time and date, it looks
elegant and slightly mysterious: 12:12 21.12.2012.
Is this the end? Or is it just another ordinary day?
The world is not going to end ... because the rumours and fears that were triggered several years ago by reports of
interpretations of the Mayan long-count calendar, which stops, some say,
at a date coinciding with day. Many IT-savvy youngsters admitted they were haunted for some time after
the Doomsday prediction first started making its rounds on the Internet
three to four years ago. The Bible recorded that no one knows about the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father (Matthew 24:36) - the Day of Judgment.
So let us rejoice and be glad for these day, 21 December is the day that the Lord has made. This is also the day where most Chinese and other East Asians celebrate Winter Solstice Festival.
Traditionally, this festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers is the making and eating of 'tang yuan' or glutinous rice ball, which symbolize reunion.
