Today is Friday the 13th, which most people consider to be a highly unlucky day. But have you ever wondered why Friday the 13th has got such a bad rep?
Turns out, it’s simply because Friday is considered an unlucky day and 13 an unlucky number. The two together are expected to spell disaster. However, there really isn’t a reason why this number and day have become so unlucky.
In fact, in other parts of the world, it’s not Friday the 13th that’s considered unlucky at all! For example, in Spanish speaking parts of the world, it’s Tuesday the 13th that is considered unlucky and in Italy it’s Friday the 17th!
So, if you’ve been going through Friday the 13th fearing the worst, just remember that it is really just a silly day that someone made up to spook you!
Do you still believe Friday the 13th is an unlucky day?
