  2. Is there a reason for the wounds on His kneecaps? The Passion accounts explicitly say that instead of breaking His knees, which was customary, they pierced His side. Yet this shows both? =/

    1. I don't think it's that the knees were broken, they are bleeding from the three falls that He endured.
