AHASVERUS, The Walking Jew, Johannes de Mare, After A. de Lemud, 1816 - 1889 print In the legend of Ahasverus, the walking Jew, the Jew is loaded with the curse to have to roam forever. The core of the legend means that a Jew, usually called Ahasverus, refused to give Christ on his Way of the Cross and therefore was loaded with the curse. At the top a scene in which he gives a beggar a alms with a funeral procession in the background and at the bottom of Christ during his Cross that points to him. In the middle he walks on a country road, pushed by a (revenge) angel. Scene from a chanson by Pi
