Longinus Blade (aka Spear of Destiny)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
"The lance is mentioned in the Gospel of John (19:31–37), but not the Synoptic Gospels. The gospel states that the Romans planned to break Jesus' legs, a practice known as crurifragium, which was a method of hastening death during a crucifixion. Just before they did so, they realized that Jesus was already dead and that there was no reason to break his legs. To make sure that he was dead, a Roman soldier (named in extra-Biblical tradition as Longinus) stabbed him in the side." (Holy Lance, Lance of Longinus, Spear of Destiny, Holy Spear)
