There are so many theories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Because other people are superstitious and if someone is convinced they will likely have an accident on this day .... I dont want them to subconsciously make it so with my car lol.

Judas left the tabel and guess what ?? Ladders against a wall etc are supposed to represent the Trinity ... walking under them " broke " the Trinity ...as if ( mind you walking under a ladder is daft as anyone up a ladder is likely to have something in their hands such as water /paint/tools and if you nudge the ladder as you walk under it ....) Here it is " shoes on the tabe " and that is because when shoes were too expensive for a lot of people when someone who owned a pair of shoes died his/her shoes were left on a table in a church so a poor person could have them... it s also associated with a miners tools here ...if you say " his tools are on the bar " it is saying he has died or become so ill he is unable to work and is close to death ( no work = no money = death before the welfare state ) Cats have akways been assosiated with witches as they were thought to work during the hours of darkness and cats are nocturnal... in some countries the same is said of owls ! Black cats are harder to see in the dark hense the superstitions but some people say it is lucky for a black cat to cross your path ( evil is avoiding you ) and other say it is UN lucky Personally it is unlucky for me no matter what the colour since i am alergic to cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I remember growing up is we were not allowed to harm a cricket if it got in the house. Both my Grandmother and Mother always said it was good luck if one came in the house..but very bad if it was harmed. Needless to say, I hated cricket season growing up!

I also have heard many different sources on it. I am certain the Templars are the origin of the day. Sad story indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
