About This Trend

Freitag der 13 refers to the superstition in Western culture where the 13th day of a month falls on a Friday, often associated with bad luck and misfortune. This belief is rooted in religious and historical events, such as the crucifixion of Jesus and the arrest of the Knights Templar.

The trend is currently active because the 13th of this month is a Friday, marking the only occurrence of Freitag der 13 in this year. Social media discussions are heightened due to its cultural significance, debates about superstitions, and references to popular horror movies like the Friday the 13th franchise.
