But all of that was based on church teachings ( the Jews killed Christ! ) and some of the most virulent anti-Semitic times, in European nations, followed Medieval PASSION PLAYS,that were performed during Lent.

Jesus was a Jew, but by the early Middle Ages,that was NEVER mentioned by Christians and certainly NOT by the church hierarchy.

Yes, and this was also before Gutenberg and private ownership of Bibles.

Which doesn't matter ( Gutenberg and his press ), because most people, including kings, could not read.

But, those "feelings " never really left off, later on, when people could read and had their own bibles. It simmered below the surface.
