Friday the 13th is one of the most well-known superstitions in the world. Many believe it began with the سقوط of the Knights Templar on October 13, 1307, when Philip IV of France ordered their arrest. But the truth is more complicated. The fear of 13 existed long before. Friday already carried symbolic weight. And the connection between the two may have come centuries later. So why do people still...
