A Friday the 13th is coming in February! That means it's time for a Triskaidekaphobia Party at the Winters Museum & Winters Printing Company's Joint Center for Local History!
Join us as we continue the tradition of the Newt Wallace Family's Friday the 13th Party!
Triskaidekaphobia--fear of the number 13--has been around for thousands of years. It was known to exist in ancient Greece, but even then, there were scoffers. Rome had a 13 Club whose members, 13 in number, flouted the superstition by meeting on the 13th of each month. In the Middle Ages in England, 13 was associated with being hanged, as the hangman got 13 pence for doing the job. Even today, in most tall buildings, there’s no 13th floor. Presumedly, calling the story above 12 the 14th floor casts off the curse.
