Abstract

In many written and artistic Christian sources, we find an anti-Jewish portrayal of an alleged Jewish costume of desecrating the Host or blood libels. The stories and images are so common that we find, for example, the story of Simon of Trent being used as a joke in a Facebook post from April 3, 2015,wishinga“Happy Passover". (from the article).
