Friday the 13th

Fact- Friday the 13th is deemed unlucky because of the Knights Templar

More Info- The Knights Templar were originally a monastic order belonging to the Catholic Church. They were, among other things, an elite military unit that guarded pilgrims to the Holy Land during the Crusades. They became too radical and the Church turned against them. The King of France outlawed them in 1307 and the arrests began on Friday the 13th. Thus, the unlucky connotation associated with that date.

Behind the Scenes- Netflix recommended this interesting series from Britain, Bonekickers, about a team of archeologists who solve mysteries! Could this series have been made for me or what?!
