|FRIDAY THE 13TH - how did Friday the thirteenth become such an unlucky day? |
| |fear of Friday the 13th is rooted in ancient, separate bad-luck associations with the number |
| |13 and the day Friday. The two unlucky entities combine to make one super unlucky day. |
| |There is a Norse myth about 12 gods having a dinner party at Valhalla, their heaven. In |
| |walked the uninvited 13th guest, the mischievous Loki. Once there, Loki arranged for Hoder, |
| |the blind god of darkness, to shoot Balder the Beautiful, the god of joy and gladness, with a|
| |mistletoe-tipped arrow. Balder died and the Earth got dark. The whole Earth mourned. |
| |There is a Biblical reference to the unlucky number 13. Judas, the apostle who betrayed |
| |Jesus, was the 13th guest to the Last Supper. |
| |A particularly bad Friday the 13th occurred in the middle ages. On a Friday the 13th in 1306,|
| |King Philip of France arrested the revered Knights Templar and began torturing them, marking |
| |the occasion as a day of evil. |
| |In ancient Rome, witches reportedly gathered in groups of 12. The 13th was believed to be the|
| |devil. |
| |Both Friday and the number 13 were once closely associated with capital punishment. In |
| |British tradition, Friday was the conventional day for public hangings, and there were |
| |supposedly 13 steps leading up to the noose. |

| |has it that the Flood in the Bible, the confusion at the Tower of Babel, and the death of |
| |Jesus Christ all took place on Friday. |

| |zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, and 12 apostles of |
| |Jesus. In exceeding 12 by 1, 13's association with bad luck has to do with just being a |
