Here’s what you need to know about Friday the 13th and the superstition surrounding the day.
The Code didn’t have a 13th law in its list of legal rules, which some believe is proof that there was a superstition around the number 13 – however, History.com suggests the missing number was just a clerical mistake. According to the history website, the association of 13 being unlucky likely started in Western culture the Last Supper in the Bible. In the biblical story, 13 people sat at the Last Supper table – Jesus and his 12 disciples – and the next day, Jesus was crucified.More Related News
