It could be what's left of the Spear of Longinus, the Holy Lance. The story goes that the Romans were trying to hasten Jesus Christ's death during his crucifixion by breaking his legs. However, upon inspection, they realized he was already dead and there was no need. To fully confirm he was dead, a Roman soldier pierced Christ's side with his spear and immediately there came out blood and water. The blood symbolizes Christ's humanity, while the water symbolizes his divinity; both true God and true man. The liquid was said to have had the ability to heal any and all those who touched it, so it would make sense that the soldier's spear was infused with some of it's properties.
