BBC NEWS | Europe | Prayer vigil targets Devil’s Day
Dutch evangelical Christians are to hold a round-the-clock prayer vigil to ward off the forces of evil on Tuesday - the so-called Devil’s Day.
They believe that the sixth day of the sixth month of 2006 has great significance for evil-doers and Satanists who revere the number 666.
In a bid to counteract the forces of evil, more than 2,000 Dutch Christians will hold “a violent day of worship”.

The fear of the number 666 is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
I think a better name would be paranoia.
