HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!
Below is an article out of Newsweek that discusses the reasons why we tend to be wary of Friday the 13th. Enjoy!
It’s not so often that Friday the 13th shows up on the calendar in October, but when it does, even the least superstitious people may find themselves a bit nervous.
The date is always considered unlucky, but there seems to be an added bit of superstitious hysteria that unravels when Friday the 13th pops up in the already-spooky month of October—so much so there’s even a medical term for it—paraskevidekatriaphobia, or a morbid fear of Friday the 13th.
Their dread may be warranted, though. After all, it was Friday the 13th in October when the historic “Black Friday” stock market crash occurred. It was also Friday, October 13 when Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 plunged from the sky, killing 12 people. And it was an October Friday the 13th when Jason Voorhees murdered campers at Camp Crystal Lake—albeit a fictional murder story, the terror Voorhees wreaked helped foster a wider fear of the date.
However, reasons why and how Friday the 13th got its unlucky association remain a mystery. But some do believe the superstitions and fear surrounding the date stem from religious beliefs and Christianity specifically.
It was the 13th guest at the Last Supper, Judas, who betrayed Jesus Christ, which led to Christ’s crucifixion, held on a Friday. Some biblical scholars also believe it was a Friday when Eve convinced Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, and it was Friday the 13th when Abel committed the first murder, killing his brother Cain.
"Because Friday was the day of the crucifixion, Fridays were always regarded as a day of penance and abstinence," Steve Roud, author of The Penguin Guide to the Superstitions of Britain and Ireland, told BBC news Friday. "This religious belief spilled over into a general dislike of starting anything or doing anything important on a Friday."
Dubbed hangman’s day, many public executions also occurred on Fridays during the Middle Ages. And criminals would have to walk 13 steps up the gallows before meeting their fate.
Numerologists, however, believe the superstition surrounding the date may be because the number 13 arrives in a numerical sequence after the “complete” number 12.
Thomas Fernsler, an associate policy scientist in the Mathematics and Science Education Resource Center at the University of Delaware, told National Geographicthat the number 13’s unluckiness most likely “has to do with [13] just being a little beyond completeness.”

Recently Team Fairview's Relay for Life team hosted a district wide fundraiser called Eggstatic for a Cure and raised $2416.70 for the Defiance County Relay for Life. The Defiance County Relay is Friday, June 22, starting at 6:00pm, at Defiance High School. Shown here are students presenting a check to the ACS representative.
STORYWALK®
The Sherwood Library in cooperation with the Sherwood Village is raising funds to install a StoryWalk® at the Little Reservation Station. A StoryWalk® is a fun and innovative way for people of all ages to exercise their bodies, as well as their minds. There will be 17 posts which contain a 2-page spread of a picture book. As you walk around to all of the posts, you will have read the book in the entirety.
StoryWalk® was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and was developed with the help of Rachel Senechal of Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalks® have been installed in 50 states and 11 countries including, Germany, Canada, England, Bermuda and Pakistan. With your help we should be able to start construction of the Sherwood Library StoryWalk® this summer.
The elementary students will help raise funds for the project through Penny Wars. Their donations will be recognized on a plaque on one of the post in the StoryWalk®.
The picture below is an example of what a StoryWalk® post will look like. This photo was taken at the Dover Public Library StoryWalk® in Dover Ohio.
Thank you very much for your help in making the StoryWalk® a reality in the village of Sherwood. If you have any questions about the StoryWalk®.project or would like to make a donation, please call Kathy Holtsberry, Sherwood Branch Manager at the Sherwood Branch LIbrary at 419-899-4343.
