Question

Answer 1

I can not recall having read any rational explanation of fear, either of Friday or 13. Fear of 13 is also known triskaidekaphobia. Friday has something to with death. Has ir got something to do with dying on the cross? I do not know. Any way it is most irrational and unscietific to entertain such fears.

Answer 2

A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe. Similar superstitions exist in some other traditions. In Greece and Spain, for example, Tuesday the 13th takes the same role. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.

here have been a number of events known as "Black Fridays" in history. Usually, these events are devastating. Some historians propose that the origin of the "Black Friday" was the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of Knights Templars on October 13, 1307 (Friday), to be later tortured into admitting heresy.

Effects

Strangely, there is evidence to suggest that Friday the 13th is actually unlucky. Psychologists have found that some people are especially likely to have accidents or fall ill on Friday the 13th[citation needed]. This has been attributed to such people feeling a heightened state of anxiety on that day (see nocebo effect). The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina estimates that in the United States alone, $800 or $900 million is lost in business each Friday the 13th because people will not fly or do business they would normally do. [1]

The date is also well-known in the motorcycle (biker) community: since 1981, motorcycle enthusiasts and vendors gather every Friday the 13th in Port Dover, Ontario, Canada. This tradition started on November 13, 1981 by Chris Simons as a gathering of approximately 25 friends. The event has grown substantially, with an estimated 100,000 people attending in August 2004, as well as music bands, vendors, a bike show, etc.

In the Spanish-speaking world, it is Tuesday the 13th (as well as Tuesdays in general) that brings bad luck[citation needed]; a proverb runs En martes, ni te cases ni te embarques (on Tuesday, neither get married nor start a journey).

Answer 3

In a military maneuver worthy of the CIA, Pope Clements issued secret sealed order to be opened simultaneously by his soldiers all across Europe on Friday, October 13, of 1307.
At dawn on the 13th, the documents were unsealed and their appalling contents revealed. Clement's letter claimed that God had visited him in a vision and warned him that the knights Templar were heretics guilty of devil worship, homosexuality, defiling the cross, sodomy, and other blasphemous behavior. Pope Clement had been asked by God to cleanse the earth by rounding up all the Knights and torturing them until they confessed their crimes against God. Clement's Machiavellian operation came off with clockwork precision. On that day, countless Knights were captured, tortured mercilessly, and finally burned at the stake as heretics. Echoes of the tragedy still resonated in modern culture; to this day, Friday the 13th was considered unlucky.
-Quoted from DaVinci Code. A good read.

Answer 4

The superstition was started a long time ago, there's a whole reason the myth got started too
The Knights Templar was a secret organization so secret that only the leaders knew who the true leaders were. they were said to know the "secret of Jesus" and were holding that fact over the pope for years. after awhile, the pope decided to arrange a meeting for the five leaders of the Knights Templar to reveal to him the secret of Jesus. when the leaders entered the place they were supposed to meet the pope, they found it was a setup and were ambushed. only one of the five leaders survived to tell the tale. when people heard they found the day unlucky and the day has been considered unlucky ever since

Answer 5

In the 1300's, the king of France decided to get rid of the Knights Templars, take all of their money, land and kill the all of the knights.His plan began on Friday the thrteenth.

Answer 6

Friday is considered bad luck as this was the day of the week that Christ was crucified.

13 is unlucky, as this was the number of people at the Last Supper (Christ and 12 disciples). The 13th, Judas, was the one who betrayed him.
