The Holy Lance of St. Longinus: A Hidden Relic Revealed at the Vatican

About this sermon

Each year during the First Week of Lent, a powerful and little-known tradition takes place at St. Peter’s Basilica: the exposition of the Holy Lance of St. Longinus, the very relic said to have pierced the side of Christ. In this special report, journalist Jacob Stein and members of the Pontifical Academy “Cultorum Martyrum Romanum” take us inside the ancient Lenten station church rite—where pilgrims and priests venerate the sacred relic in a ceremony marked by chant, tradition, and profound reflection on the Passion.
