Tuesday 13th

°

Martes 13

Abergläubische in Spanien nehmen sich nicht etwa an Freitagen, sondern 
an Dienstagen, die auf einen 13. fallen, besonders in Acht. 
Denn nach dem hiesigen Volksglauben ist es der martes 13, der Unglück bringt.



Tuesday the 13th in Hispanic and Greek culture

In Spanish-speaking countries, instead of Friday, Tuesday the 13th 
(martes trece) is considered a day of bad luck.

The Greeks also consider Tuesday (and especially the 13th) an unlucky day.
Tuesday is considered dominated by the influence of Ares, the god of war 
(Mars in Roman mythology). The fall of Constantinople to the Fourth Crusade 
occurred on Tuesday, April 13, 1204, and the Fall of Constantinople to the 
Ottomans happened on Tuesday, 29 May 1453, events that strengthen the 
superstition about Tuesday. In addition, in Greek the name of the day is 
Triti (Τρίτη) meaning the third (day of the week), adding weight to the 
superstition, since bad luck is said to "come in threes". (Wiki)


Finnisch für Anfänger:

TIISTAI = Dienstag / Tuesday / mattes
PERJANTAI = Freitag / Frieda / viernes
TAIKAUSKO = Aberglaube / superstition / superstición

PS check the last one, such a good example of the similarities
of the Englisch and Spanisch languages.


Wondering if seeing some local pigs brought us luck today?
