I've got news for you Tom!

Apparently Friday 13th is actually associated with Freya the fertility god so is meant to be a sexy day but the church don't like that so associated it with the devil.

Shame it doesn’t also translate to the rent price.

Premier inns generally don’t have a room 13.

Origin story

It’s hard to know exactly when Friday the 13th became thought of as unlucky, but it likely comes from the Christian religion. For example, in the Bible, Judas—a person who is said to have betrayed Jesus—was the 13th guest at the Last Supper. Also in the Bible, many unfortunate things happened on Fridays. So it made sense that people who read the Bible got nervous around Friday the 13th.

It’s also possible that 13 is considered “cursed” because it’s the number after 12, which many people see as a number that completes things. Think about it—12 months are in a year, 12 inches in a foot, 12 pairs of ribs in a body, etc. So it’s possible the number 13 makes people uneasy because it causes them to think about the unknown—beyond the number 12.

Around the world

In other countries, Friday the 13th isn’t unlucky. For instance, in Spain, Tuesday the 13th is considered the day to dread. And in Italy, people fear the 17th day of the any month. Why? Because the Roman numeral XVII (17) can be rearranged to spell “VIXI,” which means “my life is over” in Latin. But, like in the United States, no one can prove that more terrible things occur on those days, either.

Back to reality

People who are super afraid on Friday the 13th might have condition called triskaidekaphobia (pronounced trihs-keye-dek-uh-FOE-bee-uh), which is a fear of the number 13. (Any extreme or irrational fear of something is called a phobia). The word comes from ancient Greek and translates to “fear of the number 13.”
