Also in the Bible, many unfortunate things happened on Fridays including Christ's crucifiction. The day has since been associated with"general ill omen," said Michael Bailey, a history professor at Iowa State University who specializes in the origins of superstitions.

Most of them were executed.Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition andAfter that, it falls in October .According to History.
