Pencil and watercolor drawings for the design of a crucifix for San Damiano Church in Assisi grabbed the attention of Andrea Del Col, a history professor at the University of Trieste. The Holy Office's "corrected" version of the sketch eliminated graphic spurts of blood pouring out of Jesus' knees in the original design.

Joy. Here comes the "truth is hidden in artwork" crowd.

I just found it odd that the artist had this imagery and was wondering if there was anything out there that supported that artist's original rendition and whether or not there may be more to the story of the crucifixion that does not fit the Vatican's official position.
This is one of my tamer questions. If this one got you filled with joy, I can't wait to see your response to future threads I kick off.
