It was Friday the 13th when the Knights Templar were arrested and murdered en-mass at the order of King Philip IV of France, which is generally held to be the reasoning behind the day being unlucky. Some other sources say that the last supper was held on a Friday and there were thirteen people present just before Jesus was arrested, hence it being an unlucky day.
