| - The lance is mentioned in the Gospel of John. To make sure that Jesus was dead on the cross, a Roman soldier (in later texts called Longinus) stabbed him in the side. It is often identified with Balin as the weapon used to make the Dolorous Stroke. Richard Wagner directly identifies the Spear of Longinius with the spear that wounded the Fisher King in his opera Parsifal. Melora, daughter of Arthur, is tasked with recovering the Spear from Africa. In modern times, the legend of the Spear has been linked to many occult and New Age conspiracies.
- The Spear of Longinus was the Roman spear used to pierce Christ in the ribs as he hung on the cross. It belonged to the Roman soldier Longinus.
- Physically, the Spear of Longinus resembles a long, red bident on an Evangelion scale. Its structure is inherently double-helical (in its normal configuration), with the majority of its length being straight and composed of two strands which are tightly interwoven. At one end, the two strands unwind and form two massive tines. While the bident is the Spear's default shape, it also has metamorphic capabilities. When thrown at the Angel Arael (22), the tines wrap together to form a seamless piercing object. Upon encountering Arael's A.T. Field, the "flaps" of the Spear open up, revealing white, gill-like structures that seem to aid the Spear with self-propulsion under conditions of extreme resistance. Finally, the Spear's bident shape is perpetually altered by Unit-01 in Episode 26' when she separates the two helices, and the Spear takes on a form reminiscent of a horizontally elongated infinity symbol, ∞. The Spear may be considered to be a weapon of "god-like" power. N² weapons have enough destructive potential to bring minor to moderate amounts of damage upon some of the weaker Angels; and Evas can use armaments against Angels after nullifying the Angels' A.T. Fields with their own. However, the Spear of Longinus is capable of piercing the active, unneutralized A.T. Field of any Angel or Evangelion, entirely by itself. The Spear is not of Terran origin, having been created by the First Ancestral Race, an ancient extraterrestrial humanoid species. The one seen in the show is also not the only Spear of Longinus created: Every Seed of Life, including both Adam and Lilith, was sent with a counterpart Spear, meaning seven in all. At least one established function of the Spears is that of a "security device" capable of safeguarding the First Ancestral Race's plans should they somehow be compromised. Spears of Longinus are technically alive and are even said to have wills of their own. The Spear featured in Evangelion belonged to Adam, whereas Lilith's is believed to have been lost or destroyed during First Impact.

After the crucifixion of Jesus, it was claimed by Joseph of Arimathea, who also had taken vessels of Christ's blood, and took the relics to England as a missionary. Near the site of Glastonbury, Joseph thrust his staff (which had been the spear's shaft) into the ground and it rooted and grew into a thorn tree (the Holy Thorn). The spear had a metal tip and a shaft made from the wood of a yew tree. According to Celtic mythology, it had to be stored in a cauldron of blood. In Grail mythology, the spear was also stored upright in a vessel, and the spear tip would bleed.
