What luck! Today is only Friday 13th this year. What to know about this 'unlucky' day
What luck! Today is only Friday 13th this year. What to know about this 'unlucky' day Did you know it's the unluckiest day of year? But luckily for us, it's the only Friday the 13th in 2025. So, Good morning Friday the 13th! Some people consider the day an extremely unlucky day, which can land as often as three times a year on the calendar. Why is it so unlucky? Some point references in the Bible. A couple of the bad omens: ◾ Judas, the 13th person at the Last Supper in the Bible, is believed to have betrayed Jesus. ◾ Friday: Several unsettling events occurred on the day, including Jesus' crucifixion. There are other reasons to worry about 13 beyond the Bible. According to Norse mythology, Loki, the 13th guest, interrupted the gods' dinner party by plunging the world into darkness. When is the next Friday 13th? Typically, there are just two per year. Luckily, there will only be one in 2025. However, there will be three in 2026, which might be an especially unsettling year for some. Unable to view our graphics? Click here to see them. More: Friday the 13th is here. Here's why people think it's unlucky. Does the number 13 frighten some people? If Friday the 13th worries you, others share your fear. It's possible that you have triskaidekaphobia, or a phobia of the number 13. But if the number 13 only terrifies you on Fridays, you may have paraskevidekatriaphobia, or the fear of Friday the 13th. According to an online survey by Americans think walking under a ladder brings more bad luck than Friday the 13th. For most people, fearing Friday the 13th is a harmless superstition – something we may playfully pretend to fear. At the same time, it wouldn't hurt to toss some salt over your shoulder on Friday or keep your eyes open for a penny on the sidewalk.
