What's scary about Friday the Thirteenth?

The coming Friday is 13th of this month. So what? Well, I'm sure you must have heard of this belief - Friday the thirteenth is unlucky (very, actually). As you would've expected, there's no scientific logic behind it, it's just belief.

The fear of it, is actually made up of two separate fears - one for the number 13 and the other for Friday.

The number 13 is considered unlucky because it is the number of people who were present at the Last Supper (Jesus and his 12 apostles). Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th of them to arrive. The fear of Friday is related to Jesus too. It is believed that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

There's a Britain version to this fear as well. Public hangings were usually carried out on Fridays with 13 steps leading up to the noose.

This Friday is definitely going to be a little exciting for some of us. Well, the only thing I can say is - Enjoy!
