The soldiers put the head of Longinus at the end of a spear, and carried it to Jerusalem, as a proof that they had fulfilled their commission.

I think I remember that this took place a very few years after the death of our Lord.
Afterwards I had a vision of things happening at a later period.

A blind countrywoman of St.Longinus went with her son on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, in hopes of recovering her sight in the holy city where the eyes of Longinus had been cured.

She was guided by her child, but he died, and she was left alone and disconsolate.

Then St.Longinus appeared to her, and told her that she would recover her sight when she had drawn his head out of a sink into which the Jews had thrown it.
This sink was a deep well, with the sides bricked, and all the filth and refuse of the town flowed into it through several drains.
