Why is Friday the 13th considered so terrible? Some say, the myth originated from the Norse God meal at Valhalla which ended in battle. A total of 13 gods hit each other's hammers, causing the Earth to fall into darkness and experience its first winter. Then regarding the Last Supper when Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th person sitting at the table. Meanwhile Jesus was crucified on Friday. Also, it is said, on Friday Eve seduced Adam with the 'forbidden fruit'. Or according to Dan Brown's version of the book Da Vinci Code which states, on Friday, October 13, 1307, there was a hunt and massacre of the Knights Templar. Historians suspect, it may be related to frightening events several centuries ago. Its roots may extend to Biblical times - during which the 13th guest of the Last Supper betrayed Jesus and led to the crucifixion - which took place on a Friday. Not only that, the Knights Templar were arrested and executed on October 13, 1307. Also on Friday. Some people also worry that bad things will happen: a broken leg, a plunging stock market, or something that could trigger World War III on Friday the 13th. What do you think?
