Why do Westerners taboo 13? Why don't foreigners like 13

In the Bible, there is a story: Jesus and his twelve disciples Passover meeting. At supper Jesus said, 'one of you is going to betray me. "Sure enough, Judas, one of the disciples, denounced Jesus to the ruler, and Jesus was crucified. At that time, there were 13 people on the dinner table, and people thought it was this "13" that brought misfortune.

In Nordic mythology, there is also a story: one day, at a banquet in heaven, there were twelve gods seated for dinner. Suddenly, Loki, the God of evil, broke into the banquet, making the number of people on the banquet "13.". As a result of Loki's conspiracy, balder, the son of Odin, the highest god, was shot dead. It is believed that this is also a disaster brought about by '13'. Therefore, people in European and American countries are very taboo about the number of '13'. There are no seats numbered '13' in cinemas in these countries. In some residential areas, there is no house number 13. The number jumps from No. 12 to No. 14, or it is indicated by No. 12 A and No. 12 B.
