yea it was a real bad day for some ,,but not for me ,I am not superstitious nor one of the Knights of Templar
Here is the reason its called an unlucky day
The origin of Friday the 13th as unlucky comes from the persecution of the Knights Templar in the 14th Century. On Friday, October 13th, 1307, King Philip IV of France, in league with Pope Clement V ordered all Templars to be rounded up and thrown in prison. The Knights were accused of numerous crimes including heresy and treason. For two hundred years the Knights Templar had been the most dominant force in Christendom, but after their defeat at the Siege of Acre and the loss of the Holy Land, their influence began to wane.

The Pope played part in that as he has in many other historical events
most of them leading to believing in tradition and superstition ,
Like most of the holidays the Christians think are Holy days ,when they are actually pagan ,not Holy at all ,no more then Friday the 13th is unlucky

@Stereoguy they had achieved a position of power and respect that the Pope and the King did not have ,
The Free Masons, some will admit they are of the same order ,or of the same order as Jesuit priests ,which the current Pope admits to being .
but No One today has more power then the Pope ,NO ONE
Many say I am wrong ,,they only need to look up what "Back Channel " means to see I am not .
When a Dictator and a President have the Pope say they are "Countries " 2 men ,so they can legally negotiate for their nation ,and the Pope is the one who makes it possible .
well you have to be blind or willfully ignorant to see who has the most power

It was the Pope who actually got the wall down ,not Reagan and Gorbachev

The Knights Templar were arrested and many slaughtered on Friday the 13th, that's where the entire thing started. So unless you are a Templar, it's just another day.
