Final answer:

The described detail of fingers slipping into Christ's wound is not found in Bernini's sculptures relating to Christ but might be a confusion with the Ecstasy of St. Teresa, explaining this is not part of the Christian interpretation of the myth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement referring to the Baroque sculpture by Bernini that is not part of the Christian interpretation of the myth would be the description involving a figure whose fingers slipped into Christ's wound. This specific detail is likely a confusion with the depiction in Bernini's sculpture Ecstasy of St. Teresa, which does not involve Christ but illustrates St. Teresa's spiritual experience. The student's question might be referring to a different sculpture, possibly depicting the Crucifixion or Pieta, considering there are no Baroque sculptures by Bernini that involve a figure interacting with Christ's wounds in such a manner.
