Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th, also known as Black Friday in some countries, is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. 

It occurs when the 13th day of the month in the Gregorian calendar falls on a Friday. 

There is no written evidence for a "Friday the 13th" superstition before the 19th century, and the superstition only gained widespread distribution in the 20th century. 

The fear of the number 13 has been given a scientific name: triskadekaphobia; and on analogy to this the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia.
