One of the explanations for the superstition is in the story of Jesus Christ: he would have been crucified on a Friday and, at the last supper with the apostles, there would be 13 people at the table. Another theory is in Norse mythology, where Loki, the spirit of evil and discord, would have invaded a banquet for 12 gods and caused the most confusion (he would be the 13th). The date may also be related to the arrest of the Knights Templar (an order of cavalry that was powerful in Europe) on a Friday the 13th, by order of Philip the Beautiful, King of France, in 1307.
