The number 13 has long been associated with fear and the curse. There is even a technical term for the fear of the number 13 This is Triskaidekaphobia ! The origin of this phobia is religious. This superstition is that Jesus and his apostles were thirteen at table the night of the Last Supper (the Last Supper of Christ presented by Philippe Champaigne, above). That evening, Judas, the thirteenth guest to sit at table, betrayed Jesus who was arrested by the Romans. The next day, a Friday ("Friday"), Jesus was tried and crucified. But the many implications of the number 13 in different time domains, historical or mathematical seem to explain the mysterious character and superstitions surrounding these: The Mayan and Aztec calendars example included twenty months and thirteen days, these companies have disappeared as a result of the 16th century Spanish invasion. It's the same tarot, where the thirteenth arcana represents a skeleton being mowed.
