Many Europeans believed the Black Death was a punishment from God for their sins, leading to widespread fear and religious fervor. Others blamed specific groups, such as Jews, believing they were responsible for the plague. Additionally, some thought it was caused by miasma or bad air, prompting various health measures that often proved ineffective. This catastrophe profoundly impacted society, economy, and culture across Europe.
