medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In my recollection, in was a common belief among Jews in medieval
Spain that red heads were individuals conceived during an off-limits
period, namely menstruation. I vaguely remember that they believed the
Virgin was a redhead (or even Jesus, too). I have to check the
specifics of this though.
