When exactly is Friday the 13th?
Friday the 13th is the most famous ‘unlucky’ date in Western superstition, combining fear of the number 13 (triskaidekaphobia) with Friday’s old reputation as an ill-omened day. The specific fear even has a name: paraskevidekatriaphobia.
Every year contains at least one Friday the 13th and never more than three. A month has a Friday the 13th exactly when it starts on a Sunday.
