"On October 13, 1307, a day so infamous that Friday the 13th would become a synonym for ill fortune, officers of King Philip IV of France carried out mass arrests in a well-coordinated dawn raid that left several thousand Templar's — knights, sergeants, priests, and serving brethren — in chains, charged with heresy, blasphemy, various obscenities, and homosexual practices. None of these charges was ever proven, even in France — and the Order was found innocent elsewhere — but in the seven years following the arrests, hundreds of Templar's suffered excruciating tortures intended to force 'confessions,' and more than a hundred died under torture or were executed by burning at the stake."

Friday, the sixth day of the week, is the most remarkable day in the history of the world. This was the day which God chose to create Man. Then again, logically, if 13 is a bad number, the 13th of each month should be unlucky. But it is not so. So it definitely is not a bad number and neither Friday a bad day.
Moreover, incorporating algebra into logic, two negatives (if you consider the number and day to be bad) or two positives (as mentioned earlier) only make a positive! So Friday the 13th is NOT a bad luck day.
Superstition has taken hold of many people in the world. Superstition is just unfortunate coincidence. Worse things have happened on Thursdays and other days too. The 20th century had so many disasters and surprisingly, very few of them are on a Friday or have 13 in their occurence.
Each day is a blessing from God reminding us that He still cares and God promised that He will be there always.

Under influence from King Philip IV of France, Pope Clement V forcibly disbanded the order of Knights Templar on Friday 13 October, 1307.
Philip then tortured & murdered the members of the wealthy order
to whom he owed much money, and siezed all their lands and holdings....Probably one of the largest robberies in history.
