Have you ever wonder why the word "Friday the 13th" existed and why some people are scared of this day?
Friday the 13th is when the 13th day of the month falls on Friday. At most, this happens 3 times a year. This occur when the first day of the month starts on a Sunday. Many people believe that this is a day of bad luck. It has been said that Friday which is the sixth day of the week is an unlucky day and 13 is an unlucky number. Both has a negative reputation since ancient times. Unlike the number 12 who has a good reputation (notice that there were 12 zodiac signs, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus Christ, 12 months in a year, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 hours of the clock, ) Numerologist said that the number 12 is the number of completeness whereas 13 is an irregular number. According to Norse myths, where there are 13 people seated at a dining table, it said that one of them would die within the year. ( Isn't it that there were 13 people seated at the table during the last supper of Jesus with his disciples?). The irregularity of the number 13 is said to be the reason behind why there are no 13th floors on high rise buildings, no 13th gates on most airports and no room number 13 on hospitals. In Fact according to the National Geographic news, in Florence, Italy the house between number 12 and 14 are numbered as 12 1/2.
Fridays were considered a bad day, according to Christian scriptures, Jesus was crucified on a Friday. Since 1800's Black Friday has a lot of disasters and stock market crashes. On the legendary Knights of Templar, King Phillip IV of France ordered the mass arrest of the Templar Knights on October 13, 1307 which is Friday the 13th.
There are phobias on both the number 13 and Friday the 13th that is, "Triskaidekaphobia" for fear of the number 13 and "paraskevidekatriaphobia" on fear of Friday the 13th.
Friday the 13th must have been the most widely spread superstition on the whole world.
Being unlucky or not every person has to look on the positive side of everything so as not to attract negativity. There are no clear evidences that Friday the 13th is indeed unlucky, there's just a lot of coincidental things happening in this world. Remember that there are a lot of mishaps and deaths that happens on any day of the week and on any day of the month and any hour of the day, so is there really a need to fear FRIDAY THE 13TH? Just to remind you, this coming Friday, will be the 13th day of August 2010.
