It sure was feared back in the day, but we hardly have enough reason to fear it anymore. In Christian superstition, the day is associated with the story of Jesus’ last supper and his crucifixion in which there were thirteen individuals present in the Upper Room on the 13 th of Nisan Maundy Thursday, the night before Jesus died. After Balder’s death, the whole earth grew dark and everyone mourned. He arranged Höor to shoot Balder with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. But God Loki, the trickster God who was not invited arrived at the 13 th guest.
The Origin of this belief comes from various cultures but the most popular ones are the Norse myth and the Christian associations.Īccording to the Norse Myth, twelve gods were having a dinner party in Valhalla. Friday the 13 th is the thirteenth day of a month, which usually occurs once a year, but can occur up to three a year as well. For generations, we have considered Friday the 13 th to be an ominous day.
Friday the 13th memes have become a popular part of the internet culture.
