It has a very…. interesting past from what i’ve read but i want to learn more.
keep in mind this is all about 1 spear..
Herod held it when he ordered all the babies of Bethlehem killed
Pilot held it when he gave Jesus to the people for crucifixtion
the captain of the guard held it at the crucifiction and would use it to pierce jesus’s side.
according to history it was then given to Joseph of Arimathea (or however its spelled) and dissapeared.
Untill the crusades.. (read this part in National Geographic) a soldier had a vision in which god told him to find the spear under a church in Antioch, and after a team searched they found a coroded spear head.
It dissapeared again but from what i gather it made its way to Vienna. It would stay there untill Hitler’s greed for artifacts and power of god got his attention of it (saw a deal on a show about 16 years ago with a shot of the spear in a case)
at the end of the war he wanted to burry
the spear and it was taken to a building in Nurrenburg which the burial was stopped by allied troops shooting the diggers.
The same building in which the trials would happen.
Does anyone know more about this story? where is the spear now?

“Peter, James, and John, after the ascension of the Savior, did not claim pre-eminence because the Savior had specially honored them, but chose James the Righteous as Bishop of Jerusalem” (Acts 15:13, 19; Clement, Outlines, Book VI–Eusebius, History of the Church, Book 2, 1.2).
Jerusalem remained church headquarters and had a continuous line of Jewish bishops until Hadrian banned all Jews from Jerusalem; then the aged Mark was chosen. Meanwhile, Antioch would be the next headquarters.
