Etymology
Longinus is the name given in medieval and some modern Christian traditions to the Roman soldier who pierced Jesus in his side with a lance, the "Holy Lance" while he was on the Cross.
In the Anniversary edition of Final Fantasy II, the description for the Longinus says, "An ancient weapon that pierced the side of an immortal". The "immortal" is a reference of Jesus Christ, who was the son of God and resurrected three days after he died in the Christian tradition.
