13 Hilarious Tweets To Get You Through Friday The 13th

In Western superstition, Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky date. It occurs, as the name suggests, when the 13th day of a month falls on a Friday. Friday the 13th is considered to be a day where inauspicious things happen - an increase in accidents, in paranoia, in spooky occurrences. A school of thought believes that the fear of Friday the 13th stem from early Christianity. Jesus Christ was crucified on a Friday, and Judas, who betrayed him, was the thirteenth guest to join the table during the Last Supper. In popular culture, 'Friday the 13th' is a series of 12 horror films where the main character Jason Voorhees is mask-wearing psychotic killer who goes on a murderous rampage. This is believed to have contributed majorly to fueling superstitions around Friday the 13th.

Many people choose not to do important things on this day. Travel, marriages, and big purchases are generally avoided due to the superstitions attached with Friday the 13th.
