Bad Luck: Friday the Thirteenth - The Scandinavian's believed that the number 13 was unlucky due to the mythological 12 demigods being joined by a 13th, an evil one, who brought misfortune upon humans. It was also said that Christ was crucified on Friday and the number of guests at the party of the Last Supper was 13, with the 13th guest being Judas, the traitor.

Bad Luck: Walking under a ladder - A leaning ladder forms a triangle with the wall and ground. Triangles represent the Holy Trinity, and violating the Trinity by breaking it (walking through it) would put you in league with the devil himself.

Bad Luck: Black Cats - In ancient Egypt, the Goddess Bast was a black, female cat. Christians, wanting to rid society of all traces of other religions, convinced the ignorant that black cats were demons in disguise and should thus be destroyed. In the process, they also destroyed the kindly ladies who cared for the cats, believing them to be witches. Being demons, a black cat crossing your path would create a barrier of evil, cutting you off from God and blocking the entrance to heaven.

Bad Luck: Spilling Salt - Salt used to be an expensive commodity used mainly for medicinal purposes. For this reason, spillage was to be avoided at all costs. The idea that it is unlucky to do so probably stems from the belief that Judas spilt salt during the last supper. Throwing spilt salt over the left shoulder is linked to its medicinal use. If it could not be administered, the next best thing was to throw it into the eye of the evil spirits that brought sickness upon us. These spirits were thought to lurk behind your shoulder, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Do you know that belief in superstitious is an abomination to God?? It's in the bible. Im sorry but that is my stand.
One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world.
this is mine...:yes:

for me mga bro, the truth comes only in the Word of God...Jesus will set you free sa lahat ng mga bagay na gumugulo sa isipan mo...siya magbibigay ng kapayapaan sa iyo...

In my perception and experiences, I don't really believe in those beliefs. I came under some of those circumstances and nothing really unfortunate has happened to me or to my family or close ones.

If you really believe in the one up there, then, there is nothing to fear and he will protect you to all the bad things that will happen to you. Amen.

i can't believe in such, no basis



IMHO(In My Honest Opinion) lang po, di ako naniniwala sa superstitions, unang-una if you will do a research, roman catholics or yung mga mananakop na kastilang nagdala ng katoliko sa mga bansa at nanakop ay gumawa ng pamahiin na siyang dapat ikatakot ng tao nung panahon na yun para maniwala sila at sumunod sa mga pari that time.

biblically speaking, wala po kahit isang pamahiin kang mababasa (only if you believe in the word of god which is written in the bible). i will believe in the bible na ang mga apostol na tinuruan ni kristo at mga propetang binigyan ng kapangyarihang magturo ang mas paniniwalaan ko kesa sa mga taong di mo naman alam kung saan nanggaling ang basehan na lang.

kung pagaaralan niyo lang pong mabuti, walang magandang naidudulot ito, kung sabihin niyo man na kayo's nagiingat lang at wala namang masamang mangyayari o wala namang masama kung sundin niyo yun eh nagkakamali na po kayo. tandaan po nating mas maganda ang humingi ng tulong sa diyos para tayo ay protektahan at pagingatan kesa sa mga pamahiiin na dapat sundin dahil natatakot na tayo ay mapahamak. natakot ka nga sa pamahiin pero di ka natakot sa diyos. yun po ang point ko, magresearch muna tayo bago tayo maniwala. :)

great posting boss:)

No historical date has been verifiably identified as the origin of the superstition. Both the number thirteen and Friday have been considered unlucky:

* In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, the twelve tribes of Israel etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular transgressing this completeness.
* Friday, as the day on which Jesus was crucified, has been viewed both positively and negatively among Christians.

Despite the onus on the two separated elements, there is no evidence for a link between the two before the 19th century. The earliest reference occurs in a 1869 biography on Gioachino Rossini:

[Rossini] was surrounded to the last by admiring and affectionate friends; and if it be true that, like so many other Italians, he regarded Friday as an unlucky day, and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that on Friday, the 13th of November, he died.

However, only in the 20th century did the superstition receive greater audience, as

Friday the 13th doesn't even merit a mention in E. Cobham Brewer's voluminous 1898 edition of the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, though one does find entries for "Friday, an Unlucky Day" and "Thirteen Unlucky." When the date of ill fate finally does make an appearance in later editions of the text, it is without extravagant claims as to the superstition's historicity or longevity.


I read this from wikipedia. . .
