   Friday the 13th
   
   In British tradition,Friday was the conventional day for public hangings,and there were supposedly 13 steps leading up to the noose.
   And it is a traditionally believed that Eve tempted Adam with the apple on Friday. Tradition also has it that the flood in the bible the confusion at the tower of Babel,and the death of Jesus Christ all took place on Friday.

   Easter in Spain
   
   on Easter Sunday,in Almaden de la plata near Seville,rag and straw effigies of famous people are placed at different locations of the village. These dolls are finally torn apart and the pieces throw into the air. In Castilblanco de los Arroyos,they place similar dummies in the streets which are later set on fire. The dolls are known as Judas dolls.

   Easter in France
   
   Cloche volant or Flying bells are another important part of the French Easter tradition. French Catholics believe that on Good Friday all the church bells in France fly to the Vatican in Rome carring with them the misery and grief of those who mourm Jesus' crucifixion on that day.These flying bells return on Easter Sunday morning and bring with them lots of chocolate and eggs.In keeping with the tradition, French bells do not ring from Good Friday to Easter morning.

   Easter in France
   
   An old French custom is a contest of rolling raw eggs down a gentle slope, the surviving egg was the victory egg and symbolized the stone being rolled away from the tomb of the Christ.As for kids,they play a game in which one had to throw eggs up in the air,the first one to drop it lost.
