March 13, 2020 falls under Friday. As we all know, Friday the 13th has been a day that people referred to as \u201cbad luck\u201d. It is something that one starts believing just by living in the culture, but what is its origin?<\/p>\n
There is a number of stories that tells the origin of Friday the 13th, and one of them came from a religious belief. Stuart Vyse, a psychologist and superstition expert, stated that the story about this day, which has the most evidence, came from The Last Supper. He stated that it is unlucky to have 13 people eating on one table\u2014especially with the 13th guest, Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. It is also believed that the crucifixion of Jesus on Mt. Calvary happened on a Friday, based on what Vyse said.<\/p>\n
Speaking of unfortunate events, the world is currently facing a big and fast spreading problem as of the moment, Coronavirus Disease (COVID 19).
