Superstitions around Friday the 13th are linked back to as early as Biblical times, with Judas being the 13th person at Jesus' table.
. The Catholic military order was arrested on Friday the 13th in October 1307 by order of King Philip IV. The Grand Master Jacque de Molay and scores of other French Templars were accused of asking recruits to spit on the Cross, deny Christ and engage in"indecent kissing." They were charged with numerous offenses such as financial corruption, fraud and secrecy, and were also accused of idolatry. These prisoners were tortured and burned at the stake later on.
So it's not surprising that some link it to Friday the 13th. However, today Italians actually consider 13 to be a lucky number and Friday 17th to be an unlucky day. Also known as triskaidekaphobia, the fear of the number 13 has also created traditions such as builders skipping the 13th floor when designing buildings, in an effort to avoid bad luck, or restauranters missing out the 13th table. In Norse legend, there were 12 people sharing a meal in Valhalla when a 13th person, Loki crashed the dinner and one person ended up dead.to be a complete number, so 13 is considered to be useless.
