Superstitions abound in European-based cultures about bad luck happening on Friday the 13th. Some people who suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia will even refuse to get out of bed, for fear of incurring bad luck.
There are many theories about where the Friday the 13th myth began, but most people attribute it to the simultaneous arrests of the Knights Templar in France on October 13, 1307. However, the superstitions about the day seem to have really begun in the early 1900s.
In pagan traditions, 13 is not an unlucky number. It is the traditional number of members of a coven, and the number of lunar months in a solar year.
Have wonderful Friday the 13th!!!
