I tend to regard bleeding hosts as ratifying transsubstantiation in the late medieval millieu.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks to all who have sent references, which I will follow up.
I´m intrigued that so much of the Holy Blood derives from bleeding
hosts. I shouldn´t be surprised by this, especially in the later Middle
Ages, but was expecting to find relics that might have emerged from
the East during the crusades, i.e. that claimed to be blood from
the Crucifixion itself.
