Friday the 13th has long been viewed as a day of misfortune, a belief that stems from religious and historical superstitions. One key source of this fear traces back to Christian tradition: at the Last Supper, 13 guests were present, and the next day, Friday, marked the crucifixion of Jesus. Thus, both the number 13 and Fridays gained negative associations.
Additionally, on Friday, October 13, 1307, the arrest of hundreds of the Knights Templar by the King of France added to the day’s ill repute.
In modern culture, the fear of Friday the 13th has been fueled by horror films like the Friday the 13th franchise, which helped cement the superstition into popular imagination.
Interestingly, some cultures do not consider Friday the 13th unlucky. In Spain, for example, Tuesday the 13th is seen as the day of bad luck.
Today, “Defy Superstition Day” encourages people to challenge these old beliefs and embrace the day without fear.
