Where did Friday 13th come from?
Is Friday 13, really bad luck or a unlucky day? 

Friday 13, comes from Knight Templar legend.

* Tip
Knight Templar: was the military division for the Roman Catholic Church.They fought against the Muslims in the crusades for over 1,000 years. The crusades were started by European Kings to gain control of the Holy Land {Jerusalem} from the Muslims and the wealth of the land.

The legend of Friday 13, comes from the death of the Grand Master of the Order of Knights Templar's Jacques de Molay. Jacques a Frenchman was feared by the Friar {King} of France Philip V {Philip the fair}. The Knights Templar army had become to big and to strong. This made the Friar of France fearful and threaten his power on the throne, plus the heavy debt he owed the Knights Templar. So Philip V pressured Pope Clements V that he need to disband the order of Knights Templar before they became more powerful and took total control of Europe!

So on Friday, October 13, 1307 many members of the Knight Templar and the Grand Master Jacques de Molay were round up and false accused of treason and devil worshiping among other things. Then order to be burned alive at the stake! Before the Grand Master died he cursed Pope Clement V and Philip V that they would be dead soon and join him in hell! Both Pope Clement V and Philip V died shortly after they were cursed.

The Knight Templar went underground and into many other secret societies Free- Masons, Rosicrucian and Illuminati etc. Thus keeping the story alive about the Knight Templar.

The Free- Mason influence in the America has kept the legend alive here that movies have demonized the day. Along with myths that some buildings do not have a 13th floor? Some airplanes do not have a 13th seat?
