initializing the filter for Twig

$twig->addExtension(new relativeTimer());

$twig->addExtension(new relativeTimer('America/Chicago'));

Creation of 'date' variable, which is injected into the Twig view

echo $twig->render('index.twig', [
    'date'		=> date("d M Y H:i:s"),
    'timer'     => date('d M Y H:i:s', strtotime('-1 hour', strtotime('now'))),
    'timer2'    => date("d M Y H:i:s", strtotime('+1 day', strtotime('now')))
