The Spear Of
Destiny
According to legend,
the Holy Lance (also known as the Spear of Destiny, Holy Spear, Lance of
Longinus, Spear of Longinus or Spear of Christ) is the lance that pierced Jesus
while he was on the cross.
"... but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a
lance, and immediately there came out
blood and water."
John 19:34
The name of the soldier who pierced Christ's side is not given in the Bible but
in the oldest known references to the legend, the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus
(of uncertain date, possibly 5th or 6th century), the soldier is identified with
a centurion and called Longinus the soldier who is thrusted his lance into
Christ's side. Is it really possible that the
spear that pierced Jesus on the Cross has the power to control the world for
either good or evil purposes? Is that why Patton had to get it back from Hitler?
