Titled Martirio di San Simonino da Trento (Simone Unverdorben), per omicidio rituale ebraico (The Martyrdom of St. Simon of Trento in accordance with Jewish ritual murder), the painting is very detailed, showing a group of hook-nosed Jews with peyot and yellow, uneven teeth strangling the child and draining his blood. Some of the Jews are also shown wearing kippot and shtreimels, with one in the center wearing a tallit over his head and shoulders. In addition, the child is shown with its arms outstretched, reminiscent of Jesus Christ on the cross as the Jews look on with apparent sadistic joy. The event depicted in the painting has some historical basis. A two-year-old child in the city of Trento named Simon went missing in March 1475. Historical accounts are divided on where exactly the body was found, but a prevailing rumor at the time was that it was found in the cellar of a Jewish man named Samuel. Regardless of the circumstance, the people of Trento lashed out brutally at the Jewish community over the Easter holiday, accusing them of the blood libel, the usage of Christian children’s blood in Jewish religious rituals. The Jewish community was made to confess after being subjected to torture, and 15 Jewish men were burnt at the stake. This sparked a wave of antisemitic violence fueled by the blood libel in cities in the region, including the expulsion of Jews. …[The] Vatican recognized [Simon’s] cultus and martyrdom in 1588 under Sixtus V, and he was considered the patron of victims of kidnapping and torture. However, he was never truly canonized by the church. This was made clear in an official letter by Pope Benedict XIV in 1755. …In 1965, as part of Nostra Aetate [Vatican II] – the efforts to remove many of the antisemitic aspects of Catholicism, such as blaming the Jews for the death of Jesus – Pope John VI even removed Simon’s martyr status. The Catholic Church has even gone so far as to support museum exhibits to draw attention to the violent history in the legacy of St. Simon. In December 2019, the Museo Diocesano Tridentino in Trento launched an exhibition titled “The Invention of the Culprit” in cooperation with the local Catholic and civil authorities to draw attention to and debunk what the museum called a piece of “egregious fake news from the past” and “one of the darkest pages” in the history of antisemitism. …At only 36 years old, Gasparro’s artwork has been displayed in multiple countries for 20 years, and has been given numerous honors and awards. [In a letter to the Vatican, the Simon Wiesenthal Center complained], “…The Second Vatican Council acted to forbid the veneration of Simon of Trent, in order to combat antisemitism in the Church. Nostra Aetate also began a long sought healing relationship between Christianity and Judaism,” the letter stated. “The work of Gasparro is apparently welcomed in Italian churches, but this painting clearly foments scapegoating in a climate of recurrent fake news, thereby undermining Vatican policy, and should receive a forthright public condemnation… We would appreciate Your Eminence’s assistance, as the blood libel is still bleeding!” Samuels’ letter concluded. As was the case with Saint Hugh, an English child who was ritually murdered by Jews in the 13th century, Jewish denialists and apologists claim that the confessions came under duress and torture, but this is a gross over-simplification of the facts. In reality, Jews have been caught multiple times in virtually every country in Europe abducting Christian children to murder as part of their occult Passover blood rituals, and many Jews who were caught confessed freely without any torture whatsoever. For example, the former Chief Rabbi Neofito of Moldova published a sensational book in the Moldavian language in 1843 about the secret jewish blood mysteries. In 1883 it was translated into Italian under the title ‘Il sangue cristiano nei riti ebraici della moderna Sinagoga,’ causing the Jews to become very nervous the world over. On page 19 of this work the Jew Teofito confesses how he was initiated into the knowledge of ritual murder, and how the Jews for thousands of years have concealed it from the Gentile world. Teofito writes: “This secret of the blood is not known to all the Jews, but only to the Chakam (doctors) or the rabbis and the scholars, who therefore carry the title ‘Conservators of the mystery of the blood’. They pass it on by word of mouth to the Jewish fathers. They in turn reveal it to their sons who regard this as a great honor. At the same time they make terrible threats of punishment if one of them betrays this secret. “When I was thirteen years old,” recalls Teofito, “my father took me aside, led me into a room, where nobody could listen, and after he described to me the hatred of Christians he taught me that God ordered the Christians to be slaughtered and to collect their blood….‘My son,’ he said (as he kissed me), ‘With this confession I have placed my trust in you.’ With these words, he put a crown on my head and explained to me the Blood Secret, adding that Jehovah had revealed it to the Hebrews and commanded them to practice it...I was, in the future, the possessor of the most important secret of the Hebrew religion. “…Thereafter followed the curses and threats of punishment if I should ever reveal this secret to anyone, neither my mother nor my sister nor brothers or future wife; but only to one of my future sons who was the most wise, eager, and most suitable. In this way the secret shall be inherited from father to son until the farthest descendant.” Here’s a partial list of many other documented cases Jewish ritual murder: 1160 A.D. — The Jews of Gloucester crucified a child (Mons Germ. hist.
