Friday the 13th


So why is Friday the 13th considered unlucky?


Apparently, all Fridays have long been seen as unlucky due to Christ supposedly having been executed on a Friday.


But wait a minute, hold on.

We think most people love Fridays, you know, “Thank God it’s Friday.”




Anyway, 13 is bad because Jesus and his 12 disciples make 13 and with Jesus dying because of Judas and with Judas being one of the 12,  13 becomes a bad number.  Makes sense?

At least that’s what we were told…


So, by adding it up all together and the combination of those two make Friday the 13th unlucky.




There are some who believe it’s about The Knights Templar who were a medieval religious order that fought in the Crusades and protected Christian pilgrims. 

The order's decline began on Friday, October 13, 1307, when King Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of many of its members.


We aren’t sure what that has to do with anything, but there you have it.


On the other hand…



Here’s a bit of trivia…
