The article deals with sermons addressed to the Jewish community at the end of the Middle Ages, as well as the instruments used by the Church in order to obtain their conversion, and, at the same time, encourage within the general population a feeling of animosity towards them. These feelings brought about acts of violence and subsequently the expulsion of the Jews. The article specifically studies a doorway, from the end of the Spanish Gothic period, which belonged to the church of the Dominican convent of Santa Maria la Real de Nieva (Segovia), and which was linked to the preaching of Saint Vincent Ferrier and to the patronage of the Queen Catherine of Lancaster.
