The legend of the ‘Wandering Jew’ has intrigued audiences as far back as the early 17th century, where the concept was reignited and began to take root in European folklore. Originating in medieval Christian traditions, the tale tells of a man condemned to walk the earth until the Second Coming after having insulted or taunted Jesus on His way to crucifixion. Over time, this legend evolved, transforming into not only a dark footnote that emphasized Christ’s power, but also into a somewhat discriminatory symbol of Jewish suffering, particularly during periods of heightened anti-Semitism. In today’s episode, we’ll be exploring this legend of the Wandering Jew, unpicking exactly who this secretive character may have been and what we can learn from the broader narrative.
