Friday the 13th – unlucky for some!

Today is one of two Fridays in 2019 to have the date '13th'
– I wonder who today already has, or will be, unlucky for?

Answers on a postcard to …

"The fear of Friday the 13th is also called friggatriskaidekaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia.
Now say that 10 times really fast! Friggatriskaidekaphobia comes from Frigg, the Norse goddess of wisdom after whom Friday is named, and the Greek words triskaideka, meaning 13, and phobia, meaning fear."

I was always led to believe Friday thirteenth is unlucky because the Last Supper was held on a Friday and there were thirteen sat at the table.

The Knights Templar were routed on the Friday the 13th,another reason for its origins.

Accused of heresy, corruption, and performing forbidden practices, the order was attacked in France by King Philip IV (r. 1285-1314 CE) on Friday 13 October 1307 CE and then officially disbanded by Pope Clement V (r. 1305-1314 CE) in 1312 CE.

I'm not superstitious, but I never walk under ladders or scaffolding. Something might fall on my head.

Friday the 13th is just another day to me - in fact it didn’t even register it was Friday 13th!

Safe day to everyone!
