The number 13 may be considered unlucky because there were 13 people, Christ and the 12 Apostles, present at the Last Supper. In some countries, it’s still considered unlucky to have 13 people at a table. There’s even a name for the fear of the number 13, triskaidekaphobia!

Shamim Ansary:
Where Did the Tradition of Wearing Black at Funerals Come From and How Did the Custom Originate?

Today, mourners wear black as a symbol of sadness and respect for their lost loved ones, but it didn’t start out that way.

Many years ago it was believed that the spirit of the departed, fearing harsh judgment, would try to remain on earth by inhabiting a familiar body.

The mourners wore black and stayed indoors or in shadows to hide from the departed spirit who sought to possess them.

These days, most people in mourning wear black at funerals as a sign of respect for the family of the dead.

Shamim Ansary:
The tradition of flying a flag at half mast began with ships.

When someone passed away on a ship, or a country’s leader died, all the rigging would be loosened so that it looked in disarray.

This was a sign of mourning.

Although the slacked rigging isn’t practiced today, the tradition of lowering the flag to half-mast continues in many countries, both at sea and on land.
