Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13. Written reference to the superstitious fear of the number thirteen dates to the late 1800s. There are a number of theories how the number thirteen got its bad reputation. Some say it comes from the Last Supper because Jesus was betrayed afterwards by one among the thirteen present. Others trace the source of the superstition back to ancient Hindu beliefs or Norse mythology. Not every culture embraces fear of the number 13. Triskaidekaphobia is less prevalent in Chinese culture, where the number 13 is considered lucky. The fear of Friday the 13th is known as friggatriskaidekaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia.
