Why Is It ONLY Friday the 13th???

Probably because it only occurs a few times a year. I'm not sure how many Friday 13ths we have each year but I think of it as a lucky day and it usually is! A myLot friend just told me she met her dear husband on Friday the 13th so it's a very lucky day for many of us!

I haven't looked this up, but I believe the number 13 is unlucky because Judas is considered the 13th disciple and he betrayed Christ. And Friday was the day on which Christ was crucified. I could be completely wrong. But I believe someone told me this once.

Seems that the 13th is also taboo in buildings and room numbers...and clothing sizes..see how things jump from a 12 to a 14? Kids shoe sizes jump from a 12 to a size 1...I don't feel 13 is really bad in itself..just people may have thought it did because they actually pay more attention on those days then others...or so I feel. I also found that Spanish-speaking countries, instead of Friday, Tuesday the 13th is considered a day of bad luck.Greeks also consider Tuesday to be an unlucky day.According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. "It's been estimated that [US]$800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day". To me though it is just usually another day.. I don't think it holds any magic or has any fear in it for me.

I really don't know but as long as I can remember People always have said that Friday the 13th is an unlucky Day, I would like to know where it has come from lol

mmh in reality i never considered the 13th an unlucky day may be it originated from some legends where on these days happened something of really bad!!In reality i am concerned a little bit more when it is 17th and friday...

Traditionally going back centuries all Friday's were considered to be unlucky! Thgis was especially so for people concerned with the sea who thought that it was unlucky to start their vovage on a Friday. It is thought to go back to Jesus's crusifiction on a Friday and Dam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit on a FRiday, even Chaucer mentions it as being unlucky in the CAnterbury Tales. Thirteen is reputidly also un lucky so add them together and you get a double whammy of bad luck!!

There is very feared superstition about Friday the 13th. This fear is said to have started in the middle ages and to this day, people believe terrible things happen on Friday 13th. We are therefore very lucky this year since we escaped the fear!

In many cultures the number 13 is considered unlucky, it's not only a Christian belief due to the idea of the Last Supper their were a total of 12 disciples plus Christ, but the idea of 13 being unlucky is also a pagan belief of olden days before Christianity. As for Friday the thirteenth, that could be a holdover to the idea that Christ was crucified on a Friday...thus somewhere eons ago, someone decided that the combo of 13 and Friday was considered unlucky...as for me I have no superstition about Friday 13th or any other day on the 13th being unlucky

Or Thursday the 4th? Or Tuesday the 22nd? Supersticion. ;o)

Maybe it's just culture and tradition stuffs that say Friday the 13th is the most unluckiest day in history. I think maybe it doesn't appear frequently, which explains it.

I didn't even realize it was the 13th and even though it isn't friday today I've been really clumsy and been tripping over EVERYTHING! I've been dropping stuff and tripping all day, hit my toes on the door then went into the kitchen, tripped over bag then slipped on the rug and hit the stove. So that was a pretty unlucky moment.

i always wanted to know why. i remember when going on an elevator which has more than 13 floors they usually skip that floor and just call that floor, floor 14th when it is actually floor 13th. So why is the friday so important? Hmmm who knows

Friday was also considered to be unlucky so i think that's why friday the 13th is considered unlucky. We all know why 13 is considered unlucky, right? It's 13 apostles. The 13th is judas and he betrayed jesus.
