We know very little about St. Longinus. He was a Roman soldier, a centurion, who was one of the soldiers assisting in the crucifixion of Our Lord. He is the soldier who pierced the side of Our Lord with a lance and proclaimed that "This was truly the Son of God." He converted to Christianity and was later martyred for his faith.
