Today’s date is the second Friday the Thirteenth in a row. There will be three Friday the Thirteenths this year, as many as it is possible to have.

It is said that the date “13” falls on Friday more than any other day. This year, there will be three Fridays the Thirteenth, in February, March, and November. There can’t be more than three in a year, or less than one. Some wonder how it is possible for any year to have more Friday the thirteenths than Thursdays the twelfth? It isn’t. But, the 13th of the month will fall on Friday more often than it will fall on Thursday, Saturday, or any other day.
