Friday the 13th is a day when many people are afraid of anything that happens next to them, especially if it has to do with some superstition like a black cat or a broken mirror, but why was this date popularized in that way?
The scariest day of the year
There is a belief that every Friday the 13th arrives, all the bad things that can happen will happen, because an increase in bad luck is attributed to this day everywhere. Curiously, every time a month starts on a Sunday, it is certain that we will have a Friday the 13th.
But what happened that made this supposedly bad day? Well, everything begins with the number 13, because there are people who see it as a cursed number thanks to the fact that in the last supper, the night before the death of Jesus Christ, there were 13 people present, in addition to the fact that it occurred on the 13th of the month Nisan, which is the first in the Hebrew calendar.
Curiously, Since the last supper took place on a Thursday, that means that Jesus was crucified on a Friday..
That is why the superstition spread everywhere and this causes people to be afraid at all times while doing almost anything. so much so Usually on Friday the 13th there are many car accidents, accidents at home and basically, accidents of all kinds.
It’s just that fear of something bad happening, what leads the body and mind to act erratically and is what causes the streaks of “bad luck” for which this date is known.
From that, many people developed an irrational fear of the number 13, which even has its own scientific name, which is triskaidekaphobia and curiously, there are also people with an irrational fear of Friday the 13th and that fear is called paraskevidekatriaphobia.
