Title: Saint Longinus Post by: CyrilSebastian on February 17, 2016, 10:18:41 PM Saint Longinus is the centurion who pierced the side of Jesus while He was hanging on the Cross. Longinus, who was almost blind, was healed when some of the blood and water from Christ fell into his eyes. It was then Longinus expressed, "Indeed this was the Son of God!" :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: :crucifix: Title: Re: Saint Longinus Post by: CyrilSebastian on October 11, 2017, 08:23:33 PM Longinus is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church.
