Holy Lance
The Holy Lance, also known as the Lance of Longinus (named after Saint Longinus), the Spear of Destiny, or the Holy Spear, according to the Gospel of John, is the lance that pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross.
Instrument of Jesus' crucifixion
Jehovah's Witnesses assert that the device used for Jesus' execution was a simple upright stake, and that the cross was adopted as a Christian symbol only under the 4th-century emperor Constantine the Great. The "New World Translation" of the Bible therefore uses the phrase "torture stake" to translate the Greek word σταυρός ("stauros") at Matthew 27:40, Mark 15:30 and Luke 23:26.
