Unlucky December Dates

6. 7. 9. 15. 22. 28.

According to the English historian Richard Grafton these certain dates of the month were unlucky as published in the 'Manual' in 1565. Days throughout the year were identified and of course could have related to any day of the week. The date was the most important point to consider. The work was reputed to have some credence with support given by astronomers of the day. Exactly why these dates are unlucky is unclear today but by looking at the calendar of days an idea of the major occurrences can be seen. It is suggested that December 28 (Return to December 28) has become known as the day in the whole year of most misfortune as it is believed that the 'Slaughter of the Innocents' as told in the bible was instigated by King Herod on this day.
