TODAY IS FRIDAY THE 13TH
FRIDAY THE 13TH GOT ITS BAD NAME FROM RELIGIOUS BEGINNINGS. EARLY
CHRISTIANS THEORIZED THAT THERE WERE 13 PEOPLE PRESENT AT THE LAST SUPPER,
AND JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED ON A FRIDAY. THUS, THE BELIEF THAT 13 AND FRIDAY
HAD OMINOUS UNDERTONES CAME INTO BELIEF. THROUGH THE YEARS, THE BAD LUCK
TERM WAS TRANSFERRED TO ANY FRIDAY THE 13TH.
PEOPLE DEVELOP PERSONAL SUPERSTITIONS . . . LUCKY PENS, LUCKY LURES,
LUCKY TIES, ETC. HOWEVER, NO LUCKY PIECE IS EXPECTED TO WORK ONE HUNDRED
PERCENT OF THE TIME. KEEP IN MIND, WE USUALLY HEAR OF A PERSON'S LUCKY
PIECE ONLY WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WELL.
BUT, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU APPLY BAD LUCK TO FRIDAY THE 13TH.
THE NUMBER 13 PROBABLY SHOULD BE REGARDED AS A LUCKY NUMBER AND NOT AS A JINX
AMERICA WAS DISCOVERED ON THE EVE OF THE 13TH OF THE MONTH
THE ORIGINAL REPUBLIC CONSISTED OF 13 COLONIES.
THE FIRST OFFICIAL AMERICAN FLAG HAD 13 STRIPES AND STARS.
THERE WERE 13 SHIPS IN THE FIRST AMERICAN NAVY.
AND THE 13TH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION FREED THE COUNTRY OF SLAVERY.
HAVE A LUCKY FRIDAY!!!!!
