Drawing of the "naked" Vienna Holy Lance (i.e. without sleeves and faded down later alterations) showing a winged lance head with a window opening in its blade.
But of course you already guessed it:
It's a nice spear with a fascinating history - but unlikely the one of #Longinus. Rather than a Roman #hasta or #pilum there's a Carolingian #Flügellanze hiding underneath those sleeves and the two little "knives" added at some later point.
Close-up photo of the Vienna Holy Lance's golden sleeve and its inscription.
Only in the 13th century that #HolyLance finally has been linked to the weapon of #Longinus which pierced the side of Christ - so now it's him mentioned by name on the golden sleeve.
Photo of a 15th century fresco from the Dominican monastery at San Marco in Florence showing the crucifixion of Christ and in particular a soldier piercing the side of Jesus with a spear or lance.
"Wait, what #HolyLance?!" you ask? 🤔
Well, yes - *that* #lance of the Roman soldier #Longinus which, according legend and lore, once pierced 🩸 the side of Jesus at the Crucifixion:

Screenshot from "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny". A younger Indy in a Wehrmacht uniform (with stained bullet hole) is sitting on a chair, a lit fireplace can be seem in the background.
The year is 1944, #IndianaJones infiltrates a Nazi-occupied castle (in that #DialOfDestiny opening, remember?) to find the Lance of #Longinus which (alleged- or supposedly) once opened the side of Christ following his crucifixion.
Alas, the artifact turns out … just a replica of the #HolyLance. 🤷🏻♂️

The year is 1944, #IndianaJones and his colleague Basil infiltrate a Nazi-occupied castle to find the Lance of #Longinus which (alleged- or supposedly) once opened the side of Christ following his crucifixion.

Of course you heard the story of this mysterious™ artifact, not only supposed to be *the* #lance with which Roman soldier #Longinus pierced the side of Christ, but also a #nail-from-the-cross #relic. Which made it a powerful relic - and Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire.
@jensanok oh no that's me. I was saying I shoulda bought stock in the cologne. they play that episode so much. it's awesome. #longinus
#Longinus returns to #ModernFamily tonight. If you watch and tell your friends they'll bring me back. If not I'll never work again.
