Another common superstition is “don’t walk under a ladder.” Clearly, there are some practical reasons for not doing this, but Pappas writes about other historical beliefs surrounding this caveat, “One theory holds that this superstition arises from a Christian belief in the Holy Trinity: Since a ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle, ‘breaking’ that triangle was blasphemous. Then again, another popular theory is that a fear of walking under a ladder has to do with its resemblance to a medieval gallows.” What can Creator tell us?
