Tomorrow Is Black Friday by Nobody: 9:51am On Mar 12, 2015 |
Tomorrow is another Black Friday. Every Friday the 13th is regarded by many as the unluckiest day of the month. The number 13 is considered an unlucky number and the fear of the number 13 is known as Triskaidekaphobia. The fear of Friday the 13th is Paraskevidekatriaphobia. Below are some historical facts about Friday the 13th and the number 13 which I got from Wikipedia: 1. The Last Supper: At Jesus Christ's last supper , there were thirteen people around the table, counting Christ and the twelve apostles. Some believe this is unlucky because one of those thirteen, Judas Iscariot, was the betrayer of Jesus Christ. 2. Knights Templar: On Friday 13 October 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of the Knights Templar ,[7] and most of the knights were tortured and killed. 3. Full Moons: A year with 13 full moons instead of 12 posed problems for the monks in charge of the calendars. "This was considered a very unfortunate circumstance, especially by the monks who had charge of the calendar of thirteen months for that year, and it upset the regular arrangement of church festivals. For this reason thirteen came to be considered an unlucky number."[10] However, a typical century has about 37 years that have 13 full moons, compared to 63 years with 12 full moons, and typically every third or fourth year has 13 full moons. [11] 4. A Repressed Lunar Cult: In ancient cultures, the number 13 represented femininity, because it corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The theory is that, as the solar calendar triumphed over the lunar, the number thirteen became anathema. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_(number) |

Lala247: Actually baby, Black Friday is an unlucky day. It is believed to bring misfortune. If you are an horror film addict like me, you probably would have watched Friday The 13th. |
