The Finger That Bled

The emperor, a lover of holy relics, asked for part of that finger and drew out a knife to cut off a piece of the memento for himself. But at that the finger, dry until then, began to bleed. The emperor took fright, regarded it as a sign and left both parts of the finger to the convent. And when the parts were put together, they grew into one again, so that not the least scar could be seen. So the legend relates.
