FOUR FRIDAY THE 13TH SUPERSTITIONS, AND HOW THEY STARTED:


It's Friday the 13th. Do you know why it's supposed to be an unlucky day? Some people think it comes from Christianity, because Jesus died on a Friday, there were 13 people at the Last Supper, and Judas was the 13th guest.


-- But don't worry . . . that's NOT where it came from. In fact, no one really knows for sure. If you think THAT'S interesting, here are four more superstitions, and the history behind each . . .


#1.) BREAKING A MIRROR. It's supposed to bring seven years of bad luck. That's because people used to think their reflection represented their soul. And if you broke that reflection, your soul would be damaged. As far as the seven years part goes, it's a bit of a mystery.


--But experts think it has to do with the Romans, who thought life renewed itself every seven years. So breaking a mirror was like breaking your soul, and it took seven years to start fresh.



#2.) WALKING UNDER A LADDER. In some cultures, the triangle symbolized life. And walking through a triangular shape was tempting fate. There's also just common sense: If you walk under a ladder, it could fall, or something on the ladder could fall and hit you on the head.



#3.) BLACK CATS. In the middle ages, people thought black cats could turn into witches and demons. Since no one wanted to cross paths with them, the idea that it was bad luck to cross paths with a black cat spread pretty easily.



#4.) SPILLING THE SALT. Salt was a luxury in the middle ages, and doctors used it too. So it was expensive, and wasting it was frowned upon. Some experts think it was originally considered bad form to spill the salt, then people naturally associated it with bad luck.


--But why do you have to throw some over your shoulder, and why does it have to be your LEFT shoulder? Well, traditional Christians thought the devil hung out on their left shoulder. So when they threw it OVER their shoulder, they were actually throwing it in the devil's face.
