THE ORIGINS OF FRIDAY 13TH - JACQUE DE MOLAY

 There is a lot of fascinating history here regarding how the superstition surrounding Friday the 13th came about.  That was the day that the French Catholics raided the Knights Templar (picture the day the ATF took down Waco, etc) in order to shut down that minority sect on the orders of the Pope.  Typical crap where they were jealous of the wealth and success of the Templars and they made their move to utterly wipe them out (they ended up in Scotland and that is where we get the Scottish Rite from, etc).

Here is some fun-fact reading for those interested.  I reviewed it once again to see if I could learn something new:

Associated movies stemming from this stuff are two of my favorites:

• The Da Vinci Code
• American Treasure (one of my daughter's favorite flicks)
