The first recorded instance we have of Friday the 13th being unlucky in print is from 1913. Prior to that, England did not regard it as such.
Experts speculate various reasons for the superstition, including ties to Judas being the 13th guest at the Last Supper, but these connections lack supporting evidence.
The notion of Fridays being unlucky dates back to the Middle Ages, linked to the crucifixion of Jesus, establishing a historical context for this belief.
The combination of Friday and 13 is a relatively modern superstition, emerging from earlier beliefs regarding both Fridays and the number thirteen.
