Friday the 13th - Explaining the Myth

Today is Friday the 13th, A day everyone is aware of and is often considered with bad luck or ill fate. The superstition is hovering upon the whole world and it is in fact the most feared day. The legend no body really is aware of but still everyone believes.

Lets begin with the two most ill fated happenings that occurred on Friday.

The first is set in the beginning of mankind. Friday was the day on which Eve tempted Adam and there itself begin the evolution of mankind and evolution of knowledge. But it's also considered the fall of mankind cause Satan succeeded in his mission.
The second is the crucifixion of Christ which was again carried on a Friday.

But what's with the 13th? A thousand years ago a French King conquered the holy city of Jerusalem. The massive crusade was actually orchestrated by a secret brotherhood - The priory of Sion. Their military arm was known as 'The Knights Templar'. The invasion was to find an artifact lost since the time of Christ. It was supposedly said that the the importance of the artifact was so grave that the church would have killed to possess it. One day the Templar stopped searching. They quit the holy land and traveled to Rome. They either blackmailed the Papacy or church bought their silence that Papacy declared these Priory Knights or the Knights Templar with limitless power.

By 1300, the Templar had grown too powerful and threatening. So the Vatican issued secret orders to be opened simultaneously all over the Europe. The Pope had declared these Templar the Satan worshipers and said that God has charged him with cleansing the earth of these heretics. The plan worked and the Knights Templar were all but exterminated, butchered, burned alive. The bloodshed was carried out on 'October 13th 1307', a 'Friday'. 'Friday the 13th'.

Although when Pope sent troops to claim the Priory's treasure they found that few surviving Knights of the Priory had vanished and the search of their artifact - 'The Holy Grail' began again and the truth still remains closed.

So this is the most promising history of the unlucky Friday the 13th for me.
