Friday the 13th has been considered an unlucky day for centuries, and the superstition comes from a mix of history and religion.
In Christian tradition, 13 people were present at the Last Supper, and the 13th guest, Judas, was the one who betrayed Jesus. Because of this, the number 13 became associated with betrayal and misfortune.
Friday also carried a dark reputation, since it is believed that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
One of the most famous historical events linked to the superstition happened on Friday, October 13, 1307, when the Knights Templar were arrested across France, accused of heresy and many were later executed.
Over time, these stories merged, and Friday the 13th became known as the most unlucky day on the calendar.
