TUESDAY 13th


In the Spanish-speaking world, it's Tuesday the 13th
that carries the threat of bad luck. The number 13
has long been linked with misfortune in both the 
Anglo-Saxon and Hispanic cultures.
A possible explanation lies in the origins of the
Spanish word for Tuesday. Martes comes from
the name of the Roman god of war, Mars, and as
Tuesday is ruled by this deity, the day became associated 
with destruction and violence.
