Superstitions are irrational beliefs, which have no foundation and are not based on or based on proven facts.
Yet it is impossible to ignore the fact that they are prevalent in many societies and cultures.
Even rigid believers on a tree against the evil eye, will prefer not to open an umbrella at home and never sit in the corner of the table.
There are many superstitions regarding numbers, with their importance varying between different cultures.
While in Judaism the number 13 is considered a lucky number, in Christianity it evokes disasters, especially when it is linked to the sixth week of the week (Friday the 13th).
While most of you have probably been exposed to the importance of the numbers 7, 13 and 666 - I doubt you knew that there are cultures that actually forbid the use of other numbers like 4 and 17.
These are the most unlucky numbers in the world - and the reason people try to avoid using them:
4
In China 4 is considered an unlucky number because the pronunciation of the digit in the Chinese language is similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese word "death".
That is, 4 sounds like the word "death" in Chinese so it is a number that the Chinese will try to avoid using.
This is why many buildings in China skip the fourth floor, some will even refrain from buying a house if the number on the street is 4. Many companies completely avoid using number 4, like the Japanese camera maker Fuji who skipped series 4 and jumped from series 3 to 5.

8
In India, the number 8 is considered unlucky because it is said to be associated with the three stars of Saturn.
What is known in Hindi as “Sunny” describes a peace-breaking relationship, as many disasters occurred on the 8th or 8th-related dates, including the Kashmir earthquake (October 8, 2005) and the Indian Ocean tsunami (December 26, 2004, 2 + 6 = 8).
9
And we'll move to Japan.
9 is considered an unlucky number for a reason similar to that of 4 in the Chinese.
The pronunciation of the number 9 in Japanese is similar to the pronunciation of the Japanese word for "torture" and "suffering."
Therefore they tend to pronounce the digit differently so as not to take unnecessary risk.
Even in China, by the way, they occasionally tend to pronounce the number "4" a little differently so as not to summon bad luck.
13
In Judaism 13 is a lucky number. At the age of 13, boys enter the mitzvah in a bar mitzvah ceremony and in gematria. Which is dedicated to thirteen virtues which according to the commentators are the thirteen virtues of mercy in which Gd is revealed, or thirteen virtues in which the Torah is required. Friday is also considered a blessed day in Judaism, as it is written: "And God saw all that he had done, and behold, it was very good, and there was evening and there was Friday morning." However, the number 13 - and especially Friday the 13th - gets a completely different interpretation overseas.
According to Christian belief, at the Last Supper of Jesus - which took place on Friday - 13 people, Jesus and the 12 apostles, ate with Judas Iscariot. As a result, Friday the 13th is considered a doomsday. The fear of the number 13 is known as "triscaidophobia" while the fear of Friday is known as "perigaphobia". Many will refrain from flying on Friday the 13th, as well as not sitting in row number 13, the extremists will prefer to lock themselves in their homes on Friday the 13th and if you happen to enter the building and see the elevator jump from 12th to 14th place, that is probably exactly the reason.
The number 13 also bodes ill in Norse pagan mythology. Legend has it that "Loki", one of the evil gods, came uninvited to a party held in honor of the 12 gods and destroyed it when he brought the death of Baldur, to the light, joy and reconciliation.
The Romans attributed the number 13 to death.
They believed that the number 12, which is the number of months of the year and 12 hours of the day, offers a natural cycle of life.
What is beyond that, that is, the number 13, already symbolizes what is beyond human limitations.
The bad reputation that came out for Friday dates back to the days of heaven, so Eve seduced a person into eating the forbidden fruit on Friday.
Tradition goes on to say that the flood began on Friday, the story of the Tower of Babel occurred on Friday and the first temple was also destroyed on Friday.
The superstitions concerning the number 13 say, among other things, that a meal of 13 people together could lead to their death within a year and that a person whose name consists of 13 letters would be unlucky.
The superstitions pertaining to Friday say, among other things, that one should not trim nails on Friday (as well as after sunset), should not go for walks, move apartment or get married on Friday and never change bedding on Friday.

17
While many will maintain a slight caution on Friday the 13th, for the Italians it is precisely the 17th Friday that may cause trouble.
This is because a rearrangement of the Roman numeral XVII creates the word 'VIXI' which is translated from Latin as "my life is over".
Many Italians really do not like this day, they even close shops and take all sorts of superstitions to ward off bad luck.
39
Many Afghans believe the number 39 translates to "Morda-go" which literally means "dead cow". Moreover, "dead cow" is actually slang for "pimp", so anything related to number 39 is often perceived as immoral and unlucky. Avoid as much as possible the number 39 perceived as a "sign of shame".

536
Surprisingly, 2020 was not the worst year in history.
According to medieval scholars, the most difficult year in history was the year 536. This number is associated with many bad luck that brings with it extreme weather events.
Science Mag reported on this year: "A mysterious fog swept across Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia, bringing complete darkness, day and night - for 18 months. Temperatures in summer 536 dropped to 1.5 to 2.5 degrees Celsius, and this was the year that began the cold decade. Most in the last 2,300 years. Snow fell that summer in China, the crop failed, people starved, many died "In addition, a plague raged in the Byzantine Empire and claimed the lives of more than 300,000 people.
666
We all know the number of the devil is 666, but what belongs between them? The source of the faith is in the visions of John, which appear in the last book of the New Testament - the vision of John. In chapter thirteen John describes a monster that comes from the sea, looks like a tiger, with ten horns and seven heads. The monster takes over the throne and most of those who refuse to work it are killed. The number 666 appears in the same chapter in verse 18: For he is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. " Their right hand.Many believe that the "beast" is the devil is the antichrist, who represents the absolute evil and is the enemy of Christ.
The APA estimates that about 9 percent of Americans are afraid of the number 666 and that fear also has an official name: Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
Good luck with figuring out how to pronounce it.

Yakudushi
True, this is not a number, but "Yakodoshi" is a Japanese superstition that says certain years in life are unlucky (and we are not talking here about the "27th Club", although that too has made the number 27 unlucky in recent years).
According to the Japanese belief, the unlucky years in men are 25, 42 and 61.
In the years they are 19, 33 and 37.
The year of bad luck is counted according to the year in which an entire calendar year was born and lasts - and not from the birthday itself.
