The Spear Of Destiny.

[Khandro]

Do you know to what it refers without looking it up?

Please answer honestly, I want to know. Thanks.

An 80's band I didn't like

[naomi24]

Yes.  Load of nonsense.

[Clone]

Also, yes, I did know.

[naomi24]

Why do you want to know, Khandro?

[sandyRoe]

I've not heard of it.

[Ken4155]

Probably a video to follow 🙄

Good grief, it's an abbeylee/spath/cindy mashup.

[ToraToraTora]

I've heard of the rock band but beyond that no idea.

[ToraToraTora]

was the OP a typo?

I ask because I'm thinking of using it for a title & I wondered how commonly known it was. I didn't know there was a rock band so named, which kind of takes the edge of it. Thanks.

You've never hear of the Spear of Destiny, TTT?!?

Well!! What a thicko.....

Truly, TWAU.

Spear of Destiny have been making a stir with their punk-influenced power-rock since 1983. Emerging from the wreckage of iconic post-punk band Theatre Of Hate, the original duo — Kirk Brandon and Stan Stammers — named themselves after the weapon used by Roman centurion Longinus as he pierced the body of Jesus as he hung on the cross.

[sandyRoe]

An implement of mercy, then.

[Khandro]

There's several spear heads reputedly to be the original regarded by some as sacred relics, a bit like all the splinters from the cross I think. 

[naomi24]

//a bit like all the splinters from the cross I think.//

 

Exactly like that.  All nonsense.

[Khandro]

n. //Exactly like that.  All nonsense.//

But then, you don't know if one of them is genuine or not do you?  Unless the real one was melted down, it must exist somewhere on this Earth, n'est pas?

[Atheist]

Khandro: That's presuming it ever existed.

[sandyRoe]

I wonder did the centurion earn a place in heaven for his weilding of the mesiricorde?

[Lie-in King]

I know the myth of the stabby thing, never heard of the band.

No.  It would have disintegrated long ago.
