From a 15th-century German woodcut of the supposed host desecration by the Jews of Passau, 1477. The hosts are stolen and pierced in a Jewish ritual; they are recovered, and shown to be holy. The guilty Jews are beheaded and tortured with hot pincers; and the entire community is driven out with their feet bound and held to the fire. At the end the Christians kneel and pray.
