December, 12, 2012 or 12-12-12 will be the last date of its kind - when all three numericals in a date are the same - for the next 88 years. The next time this will happen is on January, 1, 2101.
Significance of 12-12-12
According to popular belief, 12-12-12 is a lucky date that will bring good fortune. Many engaged couples plan to hold their weddings on December 12, 2012, while some expectant parents hope to deliver their baby on that date. However, for most people 12-12-12 will be a day like any other.
Several people mistakenly believe that the end of the World as prophecised by the Mayans will occur on this date. However, the Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012 and not on December, 12, 2012.
