Do you know why Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day?
According to the History Channel, biblical tradition says that the Last Supper was attended by 13 guests (Jesus and the twelve disciples). That didn't play out well, as one of them betrayed him, so 13 guests became a bad omen to Christians.
Friday was the day Jesus was crucified, which gave it a negative connotation, and, as evidenced by writings found in the Bible, Friday was also the day Eve gave Adam the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, AND the day Cain killed Abel.
Do you know how to negate all that bad luck?
