paraskevidekatriaphobia

If you are wondering "what the heck that title is ??" then let me tell you what it means/is..... it is the morbid or irrational fear of Friday the 13th. Why is Friday the 13th associated with bad luck.... we'll see...

There are a lot of explanations why "Friday the 13th" was considered unlucky, this can be explained by "friday" and the number "13":
Friday was considered lucky because the following events happened on a friday

• Christian Folklore: Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.


• Christian Folklore: Great flood.


• Christian Folklore: Builders of Tower of Babel was tongue tied


• Christian Folklore: Temple of Solomon was destroyed


• Execution day in Rome


• Hangman's day in Britain

13 is unlucky because

• There were in all 13 people in the last supper, with one betraying Jesus Christ


• A myth in which there were 12 gods who were invited for dinner and Loki (13th uninvited guest) the god of mischief, gate crashed the party and incited riot.


• Associated with death in other cultures

There is however one day in history which is associated with Friday the 13th, Jaques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and 60 of his senior knights was arrested by King Philip IV of France on a Friday, October 13, 1307. That day thousands of Templars were arrested and subsequently tortured.

As for me though.... nothing really that bad happened today... i hope so... few hours left =P
