The belief that 13 is an unlucky number, known as triskaidekaphobia, has various origins. One theory stems from ancient cultures, where the number 12 was considered complete (e.g., 12 months, 12 zodiac signs), making 13 an irregular, unsettling outlier. Additionally, some attribute the superstition to the Last Supper, where Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus, was the 13th guest. Over time, these associations have contributed to the widespread perception of 13 as an unlucky number in many cultures.
