Yes folks Today is Friday The 13th. I wish that people won't tell me but since someone told me today, I feel I need to spread a bit of the "not so good" omen that comes with Friday The 13th.
Why is Friday The 13th considered such a "scary" unlucky day.
Simple - thirteen is an unlucky number and Friday is an unlucky day. So combined you get a combo of being unlucky.
In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve hours of the clock, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness.
There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners.
Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales, and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects.
Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s. It has also been suggested that Friday has been considered an unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
So there folks, are you feeling unlucky today or are you going to brave the day filled with gusto.
As for me, I just know its Friday!!! and it is just a few more hours to the end day and the weekend. Yahooooooooooo!!
