Friday the 13th :)

Friday the 13th



I'm curious to know how it works in your county or for you in personally. What are you thinking about this "special day"! Bad luck-day /superstition/ just folklore ...or something else ?
I use to be in the habit of forget it every time it happens and later on in the evening DISCOVER that it WAS Friday the 13th!!! So I guess that this day don't affect me in personal that much.

Lots of people believe it is bad luck.. I suppose the same people that are superstitious of black cats crossing their paths, of walking under a ladder, spilling salt, and stepping on cracks.. hehe. I think the thriller movies Friday The 13th didn't help that along. :P I do not. But it is fun to point it out (that it is Friday the 13th) and to try to spook one another. Just a fun thing. Sometimes my birthday lands on a Friday the 13th.

...so Friday the 13th must be your lucky-day some years.

In Romania we have "three evil hours" on ... Tuesday. If it is also 13-th, than is really bad!!

I agree with Iepurica. Sometimes, on Tuesdays, I have not just 3 evil hours, the bad luck lasts the entire day...

But it hasn't happend for a long time and maybe it won't happen again.

But some of my Tuesdays were looong and annoying.

"three evil hours" ...what did you mean Andreea?

Hello Pia. I agree with mavis. I, me, myself(kicking) think it's just superstition. But can't it come from religion? Here in France most people are catholics, and on Fridays (not only Fridays 13th) are not allowed to eat meat, but have to eat fish. Just wondering.!!

Aha ...I didn't know that about catholics! I guess that you learn something new everyday here. SURE ... it can have with religion to do,Look here!

Thanks for your article, very interesting. Yes, it seems to have a bit to do with religion, but perhaps more with the devil, black magic, and so on. Better have to take care of myself today.

In Greece it's not Friday the 13th but Tuesday the 13th. I don't know if it's a religious matter, but I don't take it much seriously (if anythign bad is to happen,it will no matter what the day is).

In Greece gigi1 we have Tuesday as unlucky day,because on Tuesday,29 may 1453,Constantinople fell. Some say that it was 13:00h when the Ottomans rushed in...
Others say that Tuesday is unlucky because it's the day that Digenis Akritas was killed!

Nice topic,pias!
