The legend of the '''Wandering Jew''' was a popular [[anti-Semitic]] myth. The story began in the 13<sup>th</sup> century, but did not identify with a Jew until the seventeenth. It was popular in the 18<sup>th</sup> and 19<sup>th</sup> centuries. According to the legend, the wandering [[Jew]] was condemned by [[Christ]] to wander the earth until the [[Second Coming]] because he mocked Jesus on the way to the [[crucifixion]]. The story underwent many changes over the course of the centuries. During the middle ages, the Wandering Jew was said to have been seen in numerous areas, and later he was also said to have appeared in the [[United States]].
