Thirteenth of the month

The thirteenth of the month or thirteenth day of the month is the recurring calendar date position corresponding to the day numbered 13 of each month. In the Gregorian calendar (and other calendars that number days sequentially within a month), this day occurs in every month of the year, and therefore occurs twelve times per year.

At least once per year, and as many as three times per year, the thirteenth of the month will fall on a Friday; such dates, referred to as Friday the 13th, are considered bad luck in some cultures. In Hispanic countries, instead of Friday, Tuesday the 13th (martes trece) is considered a day of bad luck.[1]
