sacred numbers
Divinely significant figures
Sacred numbers are figures believed to hold spiritual, mystical, or divine significance within religious or cultural traditions.
Different systems invest different numbers with meaning: three represents the Trinity in Christianity, seven appears throughout the Bible as completion, 108 is sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.
The sacred numbers vary across cultures but share the idea that mathematics touches the divine.
