Superstitions in Greece
- People think that if you
see a black cat, you will have bad luck.
- The tradition says that
if you break a mirror, you will have bad luck for seven years.
- When it is Tuesday 13th,
it is an unlucky day for people and you must be careful. If someone is born on
this day, people say that she/he is unlucky and none wants to get married on
this date.
- Number 13 is
unlucky because a day has 12 hours, a year has 12 months, Hercules did 12 feats,
the Gospels are 12 and 13 spoils the harmony of the perfect number 12.
- An old Greek tradition
says that a woman shouldn't get pregnant on Evangelismos (Annunciation) Day, otherwise she will give birth on Christmas Day. But this day belongs only
to Little Christ.
- The bride mustn't see
the bridegroom a day before the wedding day because
they will have bad luck in their marriage.
- The tradition says that
if you open an umbrella indoors, a snake will enter the house.
- When you are sneezing, it means that someone is talking about you. If you want to know who
this is, there is a way you may find out. Ask someone around you to give you a
3digit number. Add the numbers. Whatever letter it falls on, it is the initial.
