Well today is Friday the 13th and there are loads of superstitions surrounding Friday the 13th which are a combination of two separate fears:
the fear of the number 13 (called triskaidekaphobia)
the fear of Fridays
Unlucky 13
It is unlucky to have thirteen at a table or in a company. The number 13, in the Christian faith, is the number of people at the Last Supper, with the 13th guest at the table being the traitor, Judas.
