DAY 22

Friday the 13th Word of the day

paraskavedekatriaphobia – fear of Friday the 13 th

in Tales of the Knights Templar (Warner Books: 1995): "On October 13, 1307, a day so infamous that Friday the 13th would become a

synonym for ill fortune, officers of King Philip IV of France carried out mass arrests in a well-coordinated dawn raid that left several thousand Templars — knights, sergeants, priests, and serving brethren — in chains, charged with heresy, blasphemy, various obscenities, and homosexual practices. None of these charges was ever proven, even in France — and the Order was found innocent elsewhere — but in the seven years following the arrests, hundreds of Templars suffered excruciating tortures intended to force 'confessions,' and more than a hundred died under torture or were executed by burning at the stake.“
