so i thought because it is Friday the 13th i would do a post on Friday the 13th!
I never really understood why the number 13 was supposedly "bad" or Friday the 13th was an unlucky day so i thought hm good thing to look up!
well Friday the 13th can either be associated with a lucky day or an unlucky day! It can occur once to 3 times in a year.
The number 13 is said to be irregular because it follows in numerology 12 the number of completeness.
one superstition says that if you have 13 people seated around a table for dinner it will result in the death of one of the diners. this came from the last supper and Norse myths. Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme, or professional 14th guest.
And for some reason Friday is considered an unlucky day. black Friday when the stock market crashed, some say it is because Jesus was supposedly crucified on a Friday, and other such disasters since the 1800s that have occurred on Fridays.
Here is one myth behind it: Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and
fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil - a gathering of thirteen - and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as "Witches' Sabbath.
Pagans used to believe that Friday the 13th was a lucky day but with the efforts of Christianity attempting to degrade all things Pagan, they promoted 13 as an unlucky number, with Friday also being considered a bad day of the week
One study found that $800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day because people are afraid to do anything. An estimated 17-21 million people in the US are afraid of this day.
The 13th of the month happens more on Fridays than any other day of the week. This year it is on 3 Fridays. Feb 13th, march 13th and Nov. 13th. Only about every 11 years does Friday the 13th happen 3 times in a year so this year would be considered very unlucky!
Many hospitals have no room 13, some tall buildings skip the 13th floor and some airline terminals skip Gate 13.
After all the research that i did on Friday the 13th some studies show that it is one of the safest days of the year (because a lot of people stay home and do nothing therefore are off the roads) or it has the most accidents of the year (mostly in women because they are afraid and therefore psych themselves out)
Honestly it is just another day nothing to exciting or scary! most people do not even notice that it is Friday the 13th! however a black cat did run across the road in front of me last night maybe i should be careful today :)
here are some sites that i thought were interesting about the subject:
