Friday the 13th Word Search
This Friday the 13th word search has forty words for the unluckiest date on the calendar: the black cat and the ladder, a broken mirror and spilled salt, the horseshoe, the rabbit foot, the clover, the jinx, the omen and the superstition behind them all.
Thirteen got its bad name partly by sitting next to twelve, the number of months, of hours on a clock face and of apostles. Thirteen sat down at the Last Supper, Judas among them, and in a Norse myth the trickster Loki arrived as the uninvited thirteenth guest at a feast where the god Baldr was killed. Friday had its own bad reputation, and Chaucer was already calling it a day of misfortune in the 1300s.
The two fears were joined only around 1900. A popular 1907 novel by Thomas Lawson, Friday, the Thirteenth, told of a stockbroker who used the date to start a panic on Wall Street. The arrest of the Knights Templar on Friday, October 13, 1307, is often named as the origin, but nobody linked the two until the twentieth century. A month has a Friday the 13th whenever it starts on a Sunday, and every year has at least one and never more than three.
