Friday the 13th is considered the unluckiest day of the year with many believing it to bring an abundance of misfortune.

The history of superstition surrounding it has been long-standing and believed to have originated from the story of Last Supper, which saw Judas Iscariot – known to be Jesus’ betrayer – the 13th person to join Christ and his disciples at the table.
