FRIDAY 13TH
TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA
If you live in fear of the “unlucky” number 13, you suffer from Triskaidekaphobia.
Many buildings and skyscrapers do not have a 13th floor. Many people will not allow 13 people at the table. If there is exactly 13 people present, a second table is set up. Skippers would not go out to sea with a crew of 12. Including the captain, that made 13 people. Ancient Mayans of Central America were the most advanced culture in all of the Americas. They considered the number 13 sacred.
Like any other special or wacky day, we encourage you to fully embrace the day and have fun with it. But, don’t cower in your room in fear of this day. You’d miss all of the fun and excitement!
