Holy Lance
A Holy Lance is conserved in Vagharshapat (previously known as Echmiadzin), the religious capital of Armenia. It was previously held in the monastery of Geghard. The first source that mentions it is a text "Holy Relics of Our Lord Jesus Christ", in a thirteenth-century Armenian manuscript. According to this text, the spear which pierced Jesus was to have been brought to Armenia by the Apostle Thaddeus. The manuscript does not specify precisely where it was kept, but the Holy Lance gives a description that exactly matches the lance, the monastery gate, since the thirteenth century precisely, the name of Geghardavank (Monastery of the Holy Lance).
Benjamín Mendoza y Amor Flores
On November 27, 1970, at approximately 9:30 in the morning, Mendoza, dressed as a priest, crucifix in hand, managed to approach the Pope Paul VI before striking him with two stabs in the neck with a kris (a type of short dagger), worn on both sides of the jugular vein, shortly after the Pope disembarked from his chartered DC-8 jet at the Manila International Airport. The weapon had inscribed on both sides the legend "bullets, superstitions, flags, kingdoms, garbage, armies and shit."
