Superstitious?

The origin of the tale:

One of the oldest superstitions is that crossing paths with a black cat will bring bad luck. These kitties are also modern Halloween symbols, giving them the reputation of being spooky.

On Halloween, when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, these sinister felines embody the very essence of the unknown, casting an unsettling aura around even the bravest hearts!

So, as you venture out on this ominous Friday the 13th, tread carefully, for the eyes of the black cat could very well be the last thing you see before darkness consumes you.

Friday the 13th!

The eerie aura surrounding Friday the 13th has fascinated people for centuries, blending superstition with cultural and religious beliefs.

The Last Supper:

In Christianity, this fateful day takes on an even darker significance.
Apparently, during the Last Supper, Jesus dined with his 12 disciples,
It was Judas who made the fateful 13th guest cut.
His betrayal not only led to Jesus’ crucifixion but also sealed Friday’s destiny as a day of misfortune.
