Phobia Of Friday The Thirteenth

Do you suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia? Do you even know what that means?
Here is the explaination about that.
It means fear of Friday the thirteenth. The word is paraskevidekatriaphobia (pair-uh-skee-vee-dek-uh-tree-uh-FOH-bee-uh). Fear of just the number thirteen is called triskaidekaphobia (tris-ki-de-ke-FO-be-uh).
paraskevidekatriaphobics, the fear of Friday the 13th locks them indoors, trembling under the bedclothes, during a date that occurs one to three times a year.
Every single triskaidekaphobic dreads the combination of Friday and the number thirteen. After reading some of the mysterious events in history that are associated with the number thirteen and after reading some things that happened on a Friday I can understand why people fear this pairing so much. Friday was execution day in ancient Rome, which means that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. This is why so many Christians are afraid of Friday the 13th.
