Here is the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition from <Answers.com> . 'The actual origin of the superstition, though, appears also to be a tale in Norse mythology. Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil - a gathering of thirteen - and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as “Witches’ Sabbath.' . http://www.paranormalknowledge.com/articles/friday-the-13th- history.html .

It comes from the date Friday, October 13, 1307; which is the date the Knights Templar were eradicated by Philip IV of France. Mostly to get rid of his debt to the Templar who were not only a monastic military order, but also bankers for 2oo years. Philip had power over Pope Clement V, who was the only person who the Templars answered to, to stop the Templar from reforming. And as a result of the fall of all the Templars on the 13th it was viewed as a day of bad luck, the thought of the number 13 being bad luck grew out of that. The Templars were fully eradicated in 1314 when the last Grand Master of the Templars, Jacques de Molay, was slowly roasted over a fire. For people, who believe with his dying breath he swore he’d summoned them before God's Tribunal within a year. Both King Philip IV and Pope Clement V were dead before the year was out.
