Friday the 13th. How it Came to be and Why it's considered Unlucky At least once a year, the calendar dates align to give us a Friday the 13th. Airline ticket prices tend to dip, your superstitious boss avoids important meetings and the whole day, there's a small part of you that's just waiting for something weird to happen.
Why are we like this? Whether you are superstitious or not, you can't escape the chatter circling the spookiest calendar date.
It is interesting to note the contrasting history of the number 12 with the number 13. We have 12 months a year, 12 zodiac signs, 12 hours a day and even 12 days of Christmas -- the prominence stemming from the historical influence of the New Testament of the Bible and other Judeo-Christian traditions. Even Schoenberg, the number 13's greatest enemy, was best known for developing a 12-tone system of musical composition.
