Since the origin of a point of light appears to change if it passes near a massive body?

I belive that that is what Einsten's theories proved that light bends as observed during a lunar eclipse.

Yes, Einstein proved that space is curved by gravity by observing the location of stars during a solar eclipse.

Light will follow a "shortest interval" path in space-time. In the vicinity of massive objects space time is curved and the path of light will be curved.

Einstein proved that not only space is curved, but time is too.

You should look into gravity wells... that is the phenomenon you describe.
