From what little I know it is just superstitious hogwash.

If I am remembering correctly, the superstition came about when the church was trying to stamp out pagan religions. As far as I know it didn't exist before then. During that time anything "pagan" was viewed very harshly, up to and including being killed for it. 13 tends to be a powerful number in various pagan beliefs. Many pagan cultures tracked time by a 13 month lunar calendar rather than the 12 month solar calendar. If your people were being killed because of such associations (or if you had it beaten into you by the ruling powers), you'd probably become superstitious about it too. Wouldn't you?

Some believe it's unlucky because of the slaughter of the Templar Knights by the French king on Friday,13th.
Then some believe it is good luck because of Jesus and his twelve Disciples.
But I agree with Mindless; it's hogwash!
And by the way in ancient times (In Britain) there were only two seasons; planting and harvest. When the Romans came, the two became ten! Not twelve! Count them; Sept=7;Oct=8;Nov=9; Dec=10. Then a couple were added by the Roman emperor; July and August.
