|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. |

|  |Numerologists consider 12 a "complete" number. There are 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the|

| |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 |
