Friday the 13th, considered by many, all around the world, as the unluckiest day of the year…
Today just so happens…to be that day.
Many might be asking, how is this day different from any other Friday?
The superstition around this day is said to have biblical origins. It is argued that the incident took place the day before Christ’s crucifixion on Good Friday, where there were only 13 disciples present for Jesus’s last supper.
Due to this phenomenon, when ’13’ and Friday align, it equals major bad luck.
On the other hand, some claim that Friday the 13th is the very day that Eve bit the forbidden fruit from the garden of Eden.
