The belief that 13 is an unlucky number, known as triskaidekaphobia, stems from various cultural and historical associations. One prominent theory links it to the Last Supper, where Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th guest. Additionally, in numerology, the number 12 is often considered a symbol of completeness (like the 12 months in a year), making 13 appear as an irregular or incomplete number. This superstition has permeated various cultures, leading to avoidance of the number in contexts like buildings and events.
