Anti-Semitism (Alleged host desecration at the Brussels synagogue)
Casualties
6–20 Jews dead
Jewish community banished
The Brussels massacre was an anti-Semitic episode in Brussels (then within the Duchy of Brabant) in 1370 in connection with an alleged host desecration at the Brussels synagogue. A number of Jews, variously given as six[1] or about twenty,[2] were executed or otherwise killed, while the rest of the small community was banished.[1] The event occurred on May 22.[3]
The supposedly recovered hosts became objects of veneration for local Christians as the Sacrament of Miracle.[4][5] The cult survived until after the Second World War and the Holocaust, after which its antisemitic elements pushed the local church to derecognise it.[1] It was claimed that the hosts had been stabbed by Jews and had miraculously shed blood, but been otherwise unharmed.[6] The reliquary (without the hosts) is currently preserved in the cathedral's treasury (the hosts may have been present inside it as late as the year 2000).[7]
