Why is Friday the 13th Considered Unlucky? It’s a story of once upon a time…….

The number 13 and the Friday both are unlucky and significant for the Christians and the old ancient Norse culture. It is nothing more then superstition but it has been considered seriously by a community or religion or society. The history reveals that there are no such documented evidences of Friday the 13th before 1900.

The Christians believed Friday 13th as Bad or good, because the crucifixion of Jesus also supposed to have taken place on Friday which is called Good Friday.

As per Norse phenomena if 13 people sit together on a dinner or something like that one of them must die. So for them the 12 is the completion number and not even a single more then that.

The fear of Friday and especially the Friday 13th has remained in the minds of people without any logic.

Chronologically speaking the 13th Fridays were never thought to be as unlucky as they are after propaganda.

The Friday on the 13th of any month can arrive when the month starts with Sunday. Maximum three, 13th Friday can come in One year.

This year has been quite tough for the people with fear of Friday and especially Friday the 13th. This year it happened three times, one in February then in March and now in November. The next three Fridays on 13th will be in 2015

Well, if you have your faith on Friday the 13th and you are safely home after your work and nothing went wrong then cheers.
