Fear of Friday the 13th has a name

Triskaidekaphobia is fear or avoidance of the number 13, according to Wikipedia
It is also a reason for the fear of Friday the 13th, called paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.
The term was used as early as in 1910 by Isador Coriat in Abnormal Psychology.
Why are folks so afraid of 13? The most popular theory about the origin of fear of the number 13 is biblical: there were 13 diners at the Last Supper. The 13th to arrive was Judas, who betrayed Jesus.
In Norse mythology, too, a table of 13 proved unlucky, to say the least.
Here are some ways how to Counter Bad Luck this Friday the 13th;
Wake up on the right side of the bed. …
Pick up a penny. …
Find a four-leaf clover. …
Make a wish on a wishbone. …
Wear red. …
Carry a rabbit’s foot. …
Knock on wood. …
Hang up a horseshoe. …
All of us here at Shopper News Note wish everyone a safe Friday the 13th.
