As far as aware not really, there's a lot of different myths about friday the 13th The one I was brought up with was it was because of The last supper and something to do with Judas being the 13th apostle and Jesus being crucified on a friday.
Though Friday the 13th is my lucky day I always have good luck on that day :) but my sons hates it!, I think it all just comes down to our on mind set wither it's a good or bad day.

"Friday came to be called "witches' Sabbath." For it was believed that on this day, each week, twelve witches and the Devil met - thirteen evil spirits up to no good!
This is just one of the explanations for our superstition about Friday the 13th."

The above qoute is from http://www.preterhuman.net/texts/other/crystalinks/friday13th2.html which has different versions of the superstitions of Friday the 13th.

I am a very superstitious person... I don't believe Friday the 13th is bad luck or anything, but every time it comes around I have horrible dreams and visions, so it must have some connection....

i don't think that friday the 13 is a bad day. in fact, friday the 13 is always a good day for me

I agree with you guys.
Friday the 13th has always brought on good luck for me.
The good and bad luck must be a state of mind because we are all powerful enough that if we believe in such good or bad luck enough it can and will happen.

Some of the above is correct; the number 13 is often thought to be unlucky. As stated above, as it had to do with Judas.
But the true reason why Friday the 13th. is thought to be unlucky is because of the conspiracy by the Pope and the king of France to do away with the Knights Templar. It was on Friday the 13th. that the soldiers of France arrested all the Templars, then tortured and slaughtered them all. Of course, Friday the 13th isn't really unlucky at all; but it's a very strong belief by many.

13 was a Pagan lucky number. Christianity twisted this to be evil and unlucky. That's all.

Friday, 13th. October,1307, was the date when the Knights Templar were arrested, tortured, and killed. It is not so much the number 13 that is thought to be unlucky, it is any Friday 13th.

that's what i heard about the knights.

myself, as a kid i made a bigger deal because i was superstitious, now i'm older, i really don't see much of a difference... outside the fact i seem to forget to wear my pentagram on that day, and i've worn that necklace every day for ten years, minus all friday the 13th.

if you ask me, just a luck or protection spell if you feel you need it on the 13th.
