Its rather interesting and there is a lot of debate.
The first two signs of it coinciding was:
A character in the 1834 play Les Finesses des Gribouilles states, “I was born on a Friday, December 13th, 1813 from which come all of my misfortunes”.
An early documented reference in English occurs in H. S. Edwards’ biography of Gioachino Rossini, who died on Friday 13th of November 1868:
“Rossini was surrounded to the last by admiring friends; and if it be true that, like so many Italians, he regarded Fridays as an unlucky day and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that on Friday 13th of November he passed away.”[
However different cultures thought time have thought the number both lucky or unlucky. It makes it difficult to sometimes track however as not all civilizations have used a base 10 system. For example 13 in Greek was a sign of incorruptible nature, power and purity signified by Zeus the 13th god.
In Norse culture we have reports that 13 is unlucky yet many of the earliest Sagas mention that 12 is the unlucky number. This may have coincided with the change in faith to Christianity.
Speaking of Christianity 13 is seen as unlucky due to Judas and the the last supper.
The Chinese, Egyptians, and Spanish amongst others view 13 as lucky. While the US, Mexico, Irish and many others consider it unlucky. While in even more it has no supernatural significance.
As far as Friday thats more difficult because the current calendar wasn’t adopted until 1582 though the Romans adopted a 7 day week with Constantine. Other cultures varied widely, Ten in Egypt and an eight-day week for Etruscans.
Ok well that will probably bore people.
