Where superstious believe that 13 is bad luck come from?

Question

Is it from Jesus+12 of His diciples=1+12=13....?????

Answer 1

There are various theories surrounding 13. Since Christianity has had a extremely large influence on all societies as a whole, we shall look there first. At the "Final Supper" or "Last Supper" (whoever you chose to term it) there were 13 guests. Some believe Jesus to be the 13th at feast, occurring just before he was Crucified. This is a largely debatable theory, however. How does one know where to start counting? Many chose to go by the painting "The Last Supper," forgetting that this is an artist's interpretation of an event he did not attend. The painting depicts the disciples and Jesus at a table, but evidence suggests that the last supper was not conducted at a table. Rather the participants were seated on the ground where it was cooler. (The climate in Israel, at that time, suggests they would have stayed on the ground to keep cool.) Furthermore, where to start counting (when assuming the picture is accurate)? If one started with Judas, Jesus became the 13th guest. Conversely, if the count began at Jesus, it was indeed Judas who was 13. Both options would contribute to the mystique surrounding 13: Jesus, for he was killed soon after the feast, Judas for he was the betrayer of Jesus.

It's a SUPERSTITION!

Answer 2

You're getting warm. !3 is the higher octave of 12. !2
symbolizes spiritual forces at work in Creation, while 13 overcomes those physical/spiritual things, and we become free. The 12 disciples and Jesus were indeed 13.
Fires used to break out on the 13th floor in hotels. That is
because they were at a higher elevation than the surface, closer to the higher dimensions. And it created spiritual power. This added to the superstition that 13 is unlucky. Plus witches often
gather in 13s, covens.
Friday the 13th is said to be a LUCKY day. Because people tend
to be more careful on that day.

The Egyptians were the first to develop a superstition for the number thirteen, but for them the number brought good luck. They believed that there were twelve steps on the ladder to eternal life and knowledge and to take the thirteenth step meant going through death into everlasting life. Thirteen, for the Egyptians, was associated with immortality.
It was in Roman times that the number thirteen became associated with ill omens, particularly those bringing death and destruction.
For Christians, the number thirteen also brought bad luck. The superstition stems from the Last Supper where Judas Iscariot became the thirteenth guest to sit at the table and would later betray Jesus, leading to his crucifixion. Still to this day it is considered very bad luck for thirteen people to sit down for dinner together. It is believed that one of the dinner guests will die within the year.
Norse mythology also has a superstition surrounding thirteen at a dinner table and the bad luck that ensues. In fact, it is believed that the Christian story of the Last Supper may find its origin in this particular myth. Apparently twelve deities sat down for a meal at a gods' feast only to have Loki, the god of mischief and disorder, come along and crash the party. He rose the number to thirteen, causing one of the gods to die during the meal.
The number was adopted by witches for their covens, which always number thirteen. Still, to this day, the superstition lives on.
Most hotel chains have no room number thirteen and many skyscrapers are without a thirteenth floor.
The apostle Paul had accusations made against him due to his accusers superstitions; Acts 25:18-20
The World Book Encyclopedia says: “Superstitions will probably have a part in life as long as people fear each other and have uncertainties about the future.” Fear and uncertainty may drive people to become superstitious. Christians, however, should have nothing to do with superstition.

Answer 4

Actually their are many reasons why 13 (especially Friday the 13th) is considered bad luck. One such legend comes from the middle ages.

Jaques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and 60 of his senior knights on Friday, October 13, 1307 by King Philip IV of France is the origin of this superstition. That day thousands of Templars were arrested and subsequently tortured. They then 'confessed' and were executed. From that day on, Friday the 13th was considered by followers of the Templars as an evil and unlucky day.

Answer 5

Some believe it could have come from symbolism found in the Tarot... 13 is the number for the Major Arcana Card " DEATH "

Answer 6

No, silly! It's because the 12 disciples plus Judas = 13. Judas was the 13th disciple.
