Joe_F Origins: It Rained a Mist (Child #155) (20) RE: Origins: It Rained a Mist (Child #155) 02 Aug 17


Child's notes on this song are well worth reading. He traces the story (Jew and all) all over Europe. It is connected to the so-called blood libel, a folk belief that the Jews needed a Christian child's blood to make Passover matzoh. Child does not let scholarly objectivity interfere with expressing his judgment of this vileness.
