The number 13 on its own is not
    an unlucky number in Greek culture. The opposite is often  considered
    true by many Greeks, that is that the number thirteen is considered to be
    lucky.  Some areas in Greece say that the number 13 represents the 12
    apostles and Christ with Christ being the 13th member.
    The number 13 cannot be that
    unlucky as we should not forget that Greece won 13 medals in the Sydney Olympics its' best showing ever!
    In most western cultures Friday
    the 13th is considered an unlucky day, to Greeks this day is not considered
    unlucky.  Greeks who have accepted this as an unlucky day are Greeks of
    the diaspora who have integrated a non-Greek superstition into their
    superstitions.  
    In the Greek culture it is Tuesday the
    13th of the month which is unlucky.  It is the combination of the date
    "Tuesday"  with the number "Thirteen" that is considered
    very unlucky to the Greek people.
