This Martyr was in the military service of Pontius Pilate at the time of Christ our Savior's Passion. As he stood guard at the Cross, experiencing the earthquake and all the accompanying events, he cried out in awe, "Truly this was the Son of God" (Matt. 27:54). After the Resurrection, Longinus abandoned his military post and escaped to Cappadocia, his homeland, where he preached Christ to all who would listen. Pontius Pilate then reported his desertion and Christian conversion to Tiberius Caesar, who had him arrested and beheaded.
