Friday the 13th is considered to be a day of bad luck. The day, which occurs once in three times every year, is a day that brings bad luck, and people like me on the Web are eager to know why people think that this day brings bad luck and how it got such a creepy reputation.

The two big reasons instances of why it is unlucky is coz from the Bible, it is said that Adam and Eve took the forbidden fruit on a Friday and the crucifixion of Jesus also took place on Friday.

Other instance are:

  • The great flood during the time of Noah occurred on a Friday.
  • Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since The Canterbury Tales were written in the 14th century.
  • Friday was Hangman’s Day in Britain

So, is this why you call Friday a day of bad luck? Meh!

Good Friday

Good Friday

Good Friday, also called as Black Friday or Holy Friday, is observed by Christians all over the world signifying the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a historical event for the Christian Churches as they observe this day as a remembrance of Christ’s death with subdued service, solemn hymns, a message focused on the Christ’s death for our sins, thanksgiving prayers and observance of the last supper.

Why do we call it a ‘Good’ Friday?

The exact origins of the name are unknown. Some say that the name “Good Friday” comes from “God Friday”. And some say, “Good” is an Old English synonym for “holy” and hence is applied as an adjective to the day. But Christians believe it is “Good”, because it is Christ’s victory over sin, death, and the devil.
