[FOTZeiss] Friday Morning Winter Begins - Apocalypse ?

[Glenn A. Walsh]

The season of Winter officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth, at the time of the Winter Solstice, on Friday Morning, 2012 December 21 at 6:12 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (11:12 Coordinated Universal Time).

For several years, the Winter Solstice of 2012 has been promoted as the end of the "Long Count" cycle of the calendar of the Maya Civilization, which flourished in the Yucatan Peninsula and Central America from about A.D. 250 to 900. Many have considered the end of this Mayan Calendar cycle as the time of the Apocalypse or the "end of the world."
