"This was considered a very unfortunate circumstance, especially by the monks who had charge of the calendar of thirteen months for that year, and it upset the regular arrangement of church festivals. For this reason thirteen came to be considered an unlucky number."

This is not why 13 is considered an unlucky number..

.Idiots writing these articles know no history. Its due to the Slaughter of the Knights Templars in France and the day The Grand Master Jacques De Molay was executed on Friday the thirteenth as ordered by the French King Phillipe and Pope Clement V in 1314 not 1930's"
