H IGH T WELVE /L OW T WELVE

The High twelve corresponds to noon, with the sun at its zenith on the meridian at any particular latitude, while low twelve denotes midnight, the blackest time of the night from which point it begins to become lighter with the rotation of the earth towards the east and the rising of the sun. High Twelve signifies the time to move from labor

to refreshment. It reminds us of the importance of setting aside our usual vocations to devote time to the relief of a distressed worthy brother and time for refreshment and repose.
