-Never cut your hair on Friday the 13th. It will cause a death in the family.
- Don't change your bed sheets on Friday the 13th, you'll have nightmares all night.
- If you pass a funeral procession on Friday the 13th, you'll die the next day.
- If you leave the calendar open to Friday the 13th, the next day, you'll be killed by a witch.
- It's also bad luck to cut your nails on Friday the 13th.
Upon investigating the history of Friday the 13th, we find that the number 13 is believed to be the unluckiest number, and Friday, believed to be the unluckiest day. The number 13 has always been considered unlucky mostly because it is associated with certain incidences of the past. Some associate it with mythology, when the god of joy and gladness, Baltere, was killed, deceitfully by Loki, the god of mischief and discord. He, coincidentally was the 13th guest. Many believe that the 13th guest was Judas, at the Last Supper, who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
Bad luck associated with Friday, can be traced back to the fact that Jesus was crucified on this unfaithful day, many believing that it may have indeed been on the 13th. Some historians suggest that Cain also killed Able on this very date and day of the week.
So grab your lucky rabbit's foot and knock on wood, cross your fingers, find a penny and pick it up. Watch so as not to let a black cat cross your path. Be careful with that mirror! Don't open the umbrella inside the house and whatever else you do, DON'T WALK UNDER THAT LADDER!
The thirteenth guest is a great old, dark house movie.
More Friday the 13th.
