		Among the cults which offered promise of renascence was the Brethren of Civales, a brotherhood whose chief duty it had been to lead a solemn procession round the crops in May and so insure the blessing of the gods on the most important source of human sustenance.
		The casual acceptance of the doctrine of the virgin birth among the pagans did not arise so much from a desire to absolve the mother from carnal intercourse, for this was not generally considered to be debasing, as from the wish to establish divine parenthood.
		In view of its general acceptance among the pagans, the plausibility of divine impregnation stood the Christians in good stead, inasmuch as many of the sect were strongly ascetic and rejected marriage as debasing and in any case unnecessary since the end of the world was at hand.

	Jews
		Surrounded by ancient seats of culture in Egypt and Babylonia, by the mysterious deserts of Arabia, and by the highlands of Asia Minor, the land of Canaan, later Judea, then Palestine, then Israel, was a meeting place of civilizations.
		The land was traversed by old-established trade routes and possessed important harbors on the Gulf of Akaba and on the Mediterranean coast, the latter exposing it to the influence of the Levantine culture.
		After 135, Jews were not allowed to enter the city of Jerusalem, although this ban must have been at least partially lifted, since at the destruction of the rebuilt city by the Persians in the 7th century, Jews are said to have lived there.

	Schisms among the Jews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schisms among the Jews are cultural as well as religious.
		Of course, the most famous schism in Jewish history was the split between the followers of Jesus (who were known as Notzrim or Nazarenes) attributed to the Council of Jamnia, with the claim by his disciples that he was the long-awaited Jewish Messiah, and the majority Pharisees (Predecessors to Rabbinic Judaism) who rejected this claim.
		Vast numbers of Jews believed him; but when under pain of a death sentence in front of the Turkish sultan Mehmed IV he became an apostate to Judaism by becoming a Muslim, his movement crumbled.

		The economic and spiritual decline of the Jews of what became southern Russia created a favorable field for mystical movements and religious sectarianism, which spread in the area from the middle of the seventeenth to the middle of the eighteenth century.
		One Hasidic belief (taught by the Klausenberger rebbe) holds that Jews originally invented this dress-code and that the Babylonians adopted it from Israelites during the Jewish exile in Babylon of the 6th century BCE.
