The western world is known to fear Friday the 13th. Some culture in general associates number 13 as an unlucky number from various mythical and superstitious beliefs correlated with it. Although Friday the 13th is infamously known for “misfortune,” Spanish speaking countries regards Tuesday the 13th its equivalent.

It is believe that Tuesday is dominated by Mars the God of War in Norse mythology. This superstitious belief was strengthen by the occurrences that happened in the said unlucky day such as 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.

As Spaniards say “en martes, ni te cases, ni embarques ni de tu casa te apartes” which means “don’t get married, get on a boat, or leave your house on a Tuesday” warns, we should take careful and check upon this day. Nevertheless, we should always take extra caution no matter what day it is.
