Friday the 13th

Freaky facts:

• King Philip secretly ordered the mass
arrest of the Knights Templar in
France on Friday, October 13, 1307.

• Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

• The goddess Frigga (for whom Friday
is named) was banished by the
Christians and labeled a witch. Every
Friday, she was believed to meet
with 11 other witches plus the devil,
for a total of 13.

• Friday was Hangman’s Day in Britain.

This superstition created of loose facts
affects many people. Some Americans
avoid their normal routines on this
day, to the tune of an estimated $800
to $900 million in lost business in the
U.S.
