what reference to friday the 13th and why it is so unlucky is written in the book angles and demons by dan br

Answer 1

"The Knights Templar are an ancient order of Knights that arose during the crusades but were all rounded up and killed by the French King for their money. It all started with the arrest of the French Knights by Philip the Fair on Friday the 13th of October 1307. What followed was a set of accusations against the brethren of the order. This set of accusations was similar to that used against the Cathars before them and would be used by the Inquisition against the poor peasants of Medieval Europe accused of being Witches.
That's where the onus on Friday the 13th comes in."

"No historical date has been verifiably identified as the origin of the superstition. Before the 20th century, although there is evidence that the number 13 was considered unlucky, and Friday was considered unlucky, there was no link between them. The first documented mention of a "Friday the 13th" is generally listed as occurring in the early 20th century.
However, many popular stories exist about the origin of the concept:
That the biblical Eve offered the fruit to Adam on a Friday, and that the slaying of Abel happened on a Friday (though the Bible does not identify the days of the week when these events occurred).
The Last Supper which occurred on Thursday, with Judas numbered among the thirteen guests (Jesus plus his 12 apostles), and that the Crucifixion of Jesus which occurred on a Friday. However, Judas was not actually present for the latter part of the meal.
Friday and 13 were both sacred to the Norse goddess Freyja, so Friday 13th was especially sacred. Christians who wished to suppress her worship said the day was unlucky.
Friday, October 13th, 1066 was the last day of the reign of the Saxon King Harold II. On this day, William, Duke of Normandy offered Harold the option of ceding the crown; Harold declined the offer. The Battle of Hastings took place the following day (Saturday, October 14th, 1066). Harold was slain and William took control of England.
The Knights Templar were arrested on Friday October 13, 1307. The theory that this is the origin of the superstition was widely popularized in the novel The Da Vinci Code and in Angels and Demons."
