This is Friday and it is the 13th day of the month.
This means the day is supposed to be unlucky. Friday has been seen as an unlucky day and 13 is viewed as an unlucky number. Put the two together and you have an unlucky day. Or so goes the theory.
Based on a Norse myth that says Frigga – Friday—was the goddess of love and fertility. This myth also says that when Norse and German tribes converted to Christianity, they banished Frigga and labeled her as a witch.
As a result she convened with eleven other witches and a devil bringing their number to thirteen. This group convened to bring ill fate to the rest of the world.
So we have Friday the 13th
