Talk:Longinus

message: His Feast Day is 15 March. In the Armenian Apostolic Church, his feast is commemorated on October 22.[12]
this is not the case in the table on the right hand side. The specific issue is 15 March missing from the table.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.127.143.117 (talk) 23:13, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not 100% sure, but I believe that March 15 was the historical observance of the feast day of Saint Longinus in the Roman Catholic Church.  I think it was subsequently moved to October 16.  Thanks.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 14:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: The fact of course is that "Longinus" does not appear in the Gospels at all, just some unnamed soldier at the scene.--Wetman (talk) 04:37, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Longi was the Roman centurion who, according to the canonical Christian Gospels, thrust his lance into Jesus's right side while he was on the cross.  Subirachs represents him on horseback and carrying his lance.  
:I've put a speedy tag on the article Longi (Bible). BTW: Is the expression Longi a common synonym for Longinus? -- Bapho 12:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Gaius Cassius Longinus is the name of this person as well as the earlier person who conspired to assassinate Julius Caesar on March 15th, 42 BC. It turns out that the Longinus who stabbed Jesus has his festival on March 15th... what are the odds of that? Two different men supposedly sharing the same name, both stab J.C.'s (who just happen to be two of the most influential men in history) and share the Ides of March as a significant date? History is creepy. --71.229.177.167 (talk) 03:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In reality there is one tradition that says that Longinus was called Cassius before his conversion. After that he changed his name. But there is no source/account that his name was ever "Cassius Longinus" or even "Gaius Cassius Longinus". That's a modern legend. But the accordances between Caesar's Longinus and Christ's Longinus are there, that's right, and the date is just one of many parallels, but a very important one. There is e.g. the crucifixion scene on the ivory casket in London (British Museum), where Longinus (on the right) applies a dagger thrust instead of using a spear as in later depictions. The Vulgata at one point specifies the ones "who pierced" Jesus (I think it's in Revelations) by using the verb pungere, containing pugio: pierced by a dagger. —Contributions/85.178.88.172 (talk) 17:15, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Longinus is a common Roman name so this part from "Origins...":
The name is probably Latinized from Greek longche (λόγχη), the word used for the lance mentioned in John 19:34.[7] It first appears lettered on an illumination of the Crucifixion beside the figure of the soldier holding a spear, written, perhaps contemporaneously...
...seems a bit shady. ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 00:12, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: At least in the illumination scene, the name only includes one N, not two; Loginos. I write about it on my website, but I am completely unclear as to why the double N spelling persists... Can we update the name to LOGINOS if the earliest appearance is cited as the Rabulla Gospels?
