Abstract

The aim of the text is to present the perception of menstruation in antiquity in the Graeco-Roman, Jewish and Christian worlds, where the starting point is the pericope on the woman with the blood flow in the Gospels. First, there are examples of statements and views of the Roman and Greek authors about menstruating women. Then sources are presented about the situation of women menstruating and suffering from the abnormal blood flow among Jews, including the scene from the Gospels mentioned above. The third part of the article concerns the view of Christian authors about the issue whether women who have menstruation should be excluded from religious life.
