Among the witnesses to the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ stood a Roman centurion named Longinus, commanding the soldiers at Golgotha. It was Longinus who carried out the order to pierce the side of Christ with a spear after His death, to confirm that He had died — and from that wound flowed blood and water, fulfilling the prophecy of Scripture. According to ancient Christian tradition, when the blood and water touched Longinus’ eyes, which were afflicted with poor sight, he was miraculously healed. Standing before the cross, witnessing the darkness, the earthquake, and the manner of Christ’s death, Longinus was overcome with awe and faith. He became the first Gentile to publicly confess Christ at the cross, declaring: “Truly this man was the Son of God!” Venerated as a martyr and saint in the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Armenian traditions, Longinus at the Crucifixion represents the moment when the power of the cross broke through even the hardest of hearts.
"One of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water." — John 19:34
