Liliana Season 1 Episode 73

St. Longinus is the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus Christ during his cruxifixion. The Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ touched his eyes and he recovered his sight. He then converted to Christianity, became a monk, and eventually was martyred. 

St. Longinus carried the relic of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ to Mantua.  Later the Precious Blood was divided into several portions and given to various rulers of the era. In the year 1055, Emperor Henry III of the Franks was given part of the Precious Relic. In 1094 the Benedictine Abbey of Weingarten received this Precious Relic.
