WALA SA NUMERO ANG KAMALASAN

If a person has the irrational fear of the FRIDAY, THE 13TH then that condition is called:

#Paraskevidekatriaphobia or #Friggatriskaidekaphobia

If the person has irrational fear of the Number 13 only, then it is called:

#Triskaidekaphobia

Some people and beliefs consider the Number 13 as bad luck and they associate it with misfortunes and tragedies.

Do you remember that most of hotels have no Floor No 13 or Room No 13? Most airplanes have no Row or Seat No 13?

But wait! The No 13 is Good. There could be no number 14, 15, 16 and so on without 13! 

Our misfortunes and tragedies in life have nothing to do with No 13. Our destiny and fortunes are not dependent on numbers. Fear is a state of mind. Bad luck is not in the No 13. It is a state of mind still.

📌 THE ORIGIN OF THE FRIDAY, THE 13TH
       (Based on National Geographic)

It's difficult to pin down the origins and evolution of a superstition. But Stuart Vyse, an author and former professor of psychology at Connecticut College in New London, told National Geographic in 2014 that our fear of Friday the 13th may be rooted in religious beliefs surrounding the 13th guest at the Last Supper—Judas, the apostle said to have betrayed Jesus—and the crucifixion of Jesus on a Friday, which was known as hangman's day.
