User Review
Unlike other folk superstitions whose names are legion, “Friday the 13th” is the only one that has, if not a day, at least an exact birth year. No, it is not October 13, 1066, the last day of the reign of Saxon King Harold II. Then the Norman Duke William, whose troops landed on the southern coast of England, offered the king to cede the crown. Stubborn Saxon refused to die the next day from an accidental arrow in the battle of Hastings, which laid the beginning of the Norman conquest of England (however. agree to give the throne to the Norman, the consequences would be the same). And not October 13, 1307, when Philip IV, nicknamed “Beautiful” allegedly ordered the arrest and execution of the Templars: this date, which serious historians you will not find, calculated a certain Katharina Kurtz, the author of the book “Stories of the Templars”. Later it crept into the well-known novel “The Da Vinci Code”. No, “Friday the 13th” was born in 1907, when the novel of the same name by Thomas W. Lawson was published. Lawson, a Boston stock speculator who dabbled in fine diction after a round of golf.

Of course, Lawson was not the first to combine an unlucky number with an unlucky day of the week: by his time, superstitious fear of “Friday the 13th” was, apparently, already widespread in the West, and the little-known amateur novel of an American did not make the weather here. In general, the superstition had to have some kind of a backstory before it could find its way into a novel. What was it? It seems that in the middle of the XIX century, Europeans already preferred not to leave the house on Friday the 13th. The earliest mention of the ill-fated Friday is recorded in an English biography of the opera composer Gioachino Rossini, published in 1869, a year after his death. The Englishman writes: “if it is true that, as the Italians believe, Friday is an unlucky day, the fact that Rossini died on Friday, exactly November 13 looks significant.

Earlier references to “Friday, 13” have not yet been identified, but historians of superstitions agree that the final connection of the number 13 with the fifth day of the week in the mass consciousness occurred in the XIX century. Before that, both superstitions developed separately. Thus, “thirteen” - the number of fellow travelers at the Last Supper - in the Christian West was considered an unlucky number in ancient times (a superstition that was fought by Blessed Augustine). In Tarot cards - an ancient divination system - the number “13” symbolizes Death. According to medieval beliefs, at the coven flew 12 witches, and the thirteenth in the midst of the fun appeared the prince of darkness himself, etc. From antiquity comes the idea of a “bad” Friday: interpreters of biblical texts have long ago “calculated” that it was on Friday that the Great Flood began, God expelled Adam and Eve from Paradise, the Tower of Babel collapsed, and Cain killed Abel.

However, unlike the number 13, bad Friday looks younger: Europeans began to speak ill of it regularly from the 15th-16th century, but by the 19th century the Friday syndrome had formed in enlightened Europe into a mass superstition: on Friday one could not be born, get married, start traveling, harvest, sew, move, start a new job and even getting well on this day was considered a bad omen - the next morning the fever could return, moreover, with complications. Apart from the religious (on “Good Friday” Christ was crucified), this superstitious fear has a completely practical explanation: with the spread of the five-day work week in the West, Friday was increasingly perceived as a “killed day”, when it is pointless and even dangerous to start something new because of basic physical fatigue. It's no wonder that the number of accidents, technological failures and other emergencies increases on Friday - a scientifically established fact recorded in the British Medical Journal: the number of injured people requiring hospitalization increases by 52 percent on Friday. With the syndrome of “Friday the 13th” the figures are even worse: losses from the fact that on this day some citizens do not leave home at all, businessmen do not sign contracts and refuse to fly on business trips, in the United States is estimated at 1 billion dollars.

In general, the syndrome of “Friday the 13th” was born and spread in English-speaking countries in the 19th century, that is, at the peak of the industrial revolution - in more backward countries did not know about any “Friday the 13th” at that time and lived happily. And they lived happily too: they watched “13 Chairs,” received their thirteenth paycheck and remembered over a sandwich with caviar and a shot of vodka how good it was to live in the Russian state in 1913. And the fact that the death of an Italian composer on Friday the 13th made such an impression on an advanced Englishman speaks for itself. It also speaks for itself that the lunar expedition, which the Americans won from us, stumbled on the ship Apollo 13, which had a serious accident, and that the enemy of American imperialism, Fidel Castro, was born on Friday the 13th to our delight.

However, globalization does not stand still, and dangerous asteroid 2004MN4 can destroy all life on Earth, falling on the blue planet on Friday, April 13, 2029. By the way, if you add up the last four numbers, you also get thirteen.
