Here are some of the funniest Irish superstitions I heard of: Living in Ireland, I’ve learned that the Irish are a bit superstitious themselves – not only on Friday the 13 th but basically all the time. In Romania, Greece and some areas of Spain and Latin America, Tuesday the 13th is considered unlucky.The Number 17 (which is a happy day in Ireland because of St Patrick’s Day), is an unlucky number in Italy, because in Roman digits 17 is written XVII, that could be rearranged to “VIXI”, which in Latin means “I lived” (…and I’m dead now).It is not uncommon for buildings to lack floors with the number 4, and Finnish mobile phone manufacturer Nokia does not include any model numbers beginning with a 4. Tetraphobia, fear of the number 4 – (phonetically similar to the word “death”), is widely spread in Korea, China and Japan, as well as in many other East-Asian and some Southeast-Asian countries.Triskaidekaphobia (hard to pronounce -)) – the fear of the number 13 – is just engrained in our mentalities.īut there are other superstitions in other countries / cultures all over the world associated with numbers and dates: I am sure most of us do not even really know why this day should bring back luck. I must admit, I did not realise it before my colleague Andrea told me – but today is Friday the 13 th !īe it a lucky or an unlucky day… I honestly don’t really care.
