Hoy es viernes el décimotercer!...Are you scared?

Question

Today it is still Friday the 13th in most parts of the world. (Sorry to our Australian friends and others). I personally don't worry about this day at all. I really do not believe in bad luck either. I was wondering if the words "Friday the 13th" mean the same in other parts of the world, whether you believe in all the hoopla or if you have any interesting or funny stories...

Answer 1

Nada...en España es martes y trece..no hay nada que hacer

Answer 2

Answer 6

Hola. El viernes el decimotercero temor procedió del fallecimiento de los caballeros Templar. Recerdos.

No, I am not familiar with that. Can you explain more? - Nicole-B, NOV 13, 2009

I've heard that one too - but I think the superstition preceded that. A case of cause and effect perhaps? - sheila-foster, NOV 13, 2009

Viernes 13 de octubre de 1307, el rey Felipe de Francia, profundamente en deuda con los dos centenarios Caballeros Templarios, arrestado en masa de los banqueros de la cruzada para apoderarse de su riqueza y su poder de parada. - Don-Linton, NOV 13, 2009

Answer 7

Ni modo! Ni aqui ni en Espana! (martes el 13...wuuuuuuuu!!!)

Answer 8

In England, Friday is the unlucky day because it was the day of the crucifixion, and the 13th is unlucky because there were 13 at the last supper - hence Friday 13th being the unluckiest day.

Can someone tell me why Tuesday is considered the unlucky day in Spain?

Answer 9

To Eddy, Morti and all of our British friends...Be careful driving today!!! British study

Answer 10

¿Por qué es el martes considerado de mala suerte en España? Is this true of any other countries?
