Friday The 13th

Friday 13th. Calendar with the date marked.

Friday the 13th is a date that carries a long-standing reputation for being unlucky in Western superstition. The fear of this date, known as paraskevidekatriaphobia, is influenced by various historical and cultural beliefs. This day, occurring at least once a year, is often linked to bad luck and misfortune. The superstition has roots in history and religion, with notable associations such as the Last Supper and the arrest of the Knights Templar in 1307. Despite its negative connotations, Friday the 13th has also become a cultural phenomenon, particularly through the horror movie franchise of the same name.
