Though it is often infused with supernatural or religious meanings, crying tears of blood is physically possible! This is a condition known as haemolacria, in which tears can either be partially or almost completely composed of blood.
It may appear as a symptom of several types of ailments including jaundice, vascular tumors, and severe cases of anemia. However, it is most often a result of injury or some kind of infection within the tear duct.
