Why is Friday 13th considered bad luck?

Media playback is unsupported on your deviceIt's Friday 13th - allegedly the most cursed day of the calendar and when everything is fated to go wrong. But where did we get the idea that it's a date when bad things happen?

"My mum was actually born on Friday 13th," says Mrs Hemmer."She always thought it was a lucky day - and so do I.""It was put there as something else to worry about," says the 26-year-old."It's Friday - you've got to love a Friday."Not everyone is so relaxed about it. In the shadow of the cathedral I find a woman who does believe, even though her sceptical companions cast their doubts.

"This religious belief spilled over into a general dislike of starting anything - or doing anything important - on a Friday." But it was the Victorians who put the two together, says the author of the Country Wisdom and Folklore Diary.Where do superstitions come from?Georgian Diaconu and Alina Gheorghita are not superstitious but Aurora Marin says she is

It was to do with the Heads of the Knights Templar who were invited by the pope to attend a meeting then murdered at his orders on Friday the 13th.

Passed my driving test on Friday 13th .. !

My grandmother always said 13 was her lucky number just to be at odds with mainstream opinion. She never voted either she reckoned they weren't worth the walk.

I always understood it stems from the 'destruction' of the Knights Templar when the were all betrayed by the then French King & Pope.. and this was on Friday 13th.. I myself was born on Friday 13th... Mmm... 🙄

Goes to space too....

You're wrong, lads. Friday 13th october, 1307, was the day the Templars were put to death on trumped-up charges of heresey and treason. The day lived in infamy as the Templars were beloved for their charity by the people.

It's not

Nonsense

It's good luck for me as I found this interesting video! 😎😃👉

Because science

It is a big and happy day!!!

This guy called Jason.

I don't believe in it.
