Nowadays, some buildings do not mark the 13th floor and residents refuse to have the number 13 in their address, some voluntarily avoid flying on Friday the 13th.
Historians blame Gregor on page 13 for accidentally establishing the Gregorian calendar in 1582, while the solar calendar provides one to three “Friday the 13th”.
The fear of “Friday the 13th” is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, an unpronounceable word with origins in Greek etymology: “paraskevi” meaning “Friday”, “decatrees” (thirteen) and “phobos” (fear or fear), the magazine said.
