Lonjino

Lonjino (kwa Kilatini LonginusSee at Kontos; "The name cannot be ascribed to any tradition; its obvious derivation from logchē (λόγχη), spear or lance, shows that it was, like that of Saint Veronica, fashioned to suit the event," noted Elizabeth Jameson, The History of Our Lord as Exemplified in Works of Art 1872:160.) ni jina linalotumika kwa askari aliyemchoma kwa mkuki Yesu akiwa maiti msalabani kadiri ya Injili ya Yohane 19:34-37http://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/45450. 

Ingawa Biblia haina habari zaidi juu yake, inasadikika kwamba baadaye akawa Mkristo na pengine hata kwamba akafia dini.

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa kama mtakatifu, hasa tarehe 16 Oktoba (Kanisa KatolikiMartyrologium Romanum, Waorthodoksi na Anglikana), lakini pia tarehe 22 Oktoba au 14 Novemba (Waorthodoksi wa Mashariki) na tarehe nyingine nyingi.
