In many cultures, the number 13 is considered unlucky. It comes from different myths, religious and historical events. Friday is also associated with negative events in human history, such as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ or the collapse of the Templars.

Omen and prejudices

Avoiding important affairs and endeavors is one of the most common omens for Friday, 13. People often refuse to make deals, start new projects or even travel, believing that failure will haunt them.

Hardly one of the scariest omens is a broken mirror. It is believed that it can bring 7 years of misfortune.

Of particular importance is the number 13. This is due, in particular, to the fact that before the crucifixion at the secret dinner at the table was exactly 13 people, one of whom turned out to be a traitor. Therefore, if on Friday 13 at the table gathered exactly 13 people, it is considered a sign of impending trouble.
