Answer 2

There are different theories:

  * Because it's a prime number, therefore you can't divide things evenly amongst 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 people.

  * Because there were 13 people at the last supper, and Judas Iscariot was the 13th person at the table.

  * Because there are 13 moons in a year, and a woman has 13 menstrual cycles in a year, both of which were connected with witchcraft in the middle ages.

  * Because on Friday the 13th, the Templars were slaughtered.

Answer 5

Superstitions are by no means universal. In such matters having a good worldview is important.

In some cultures 7 is considered unlucky.

In many cultures 13 is not considered unlucky.

For example, in Russia, never give someone a dozen roses! Give then 13; because in Russia even numbers of flowers are only for funerals, so giving even numbers is very bad. So you need to use odd numbers of flowers are for gifts in Russia.

Answer 6

Many Christians have long believed that Friday was unlucky because it was the day of the week when Jesus was crucified. The number 13 was believed to bring bad luck because there were 13 people at The Last Supper.
