The superstition surrounding 13 people dining together stems from the idea that it brings bad luck, often linked to the Last Supper where Jesus dined with his 12 apostles, making a total of 13. This belief is particularly strong in Western cultures, where it is thought that if 13 people gather for a meal, one of them may die within the year. This superstition has led some to avoid having 13 guests at dinner parties or to take precautions, such as adding a 14th guest, to ward off the perceived bad luck.
