The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom “Friday” is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen.
It comes from Norse mythology, concerning a dinner amongst the 12 Norse gods, whose party was crashed by Loki, a thirteenth sorta-god who got stupid, killed another of the gods, and somehow caused the Earth to be plunged into darkness.
Thus, Friday the 13th missed out on becoming another celebrated day of partying and drinking, unlike Cinco de Mayo.
