I would be interested in any ideas you might have as to this Holy mystery.

I believe it was a kind of Baptism.
Today we are cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb (Rev. 7:14), but people living in those days didn't have the same opportunity, since the Lamb had not yet been slaughtered. Thus our Lord in His infinite wisdom gave His chosen ones a chance to be baptized in body fluids, other than blood.
Of course, all this doesn't mean that Our Lord didn't take pleasure in spitting those money-grubbing Joos right in their hook-nosed faces.
