What relics remain of St. Longinus the Martyr are now housed in the church of St. Augustine in Rome.

Peter Bartholomew, a servant of a member of Count Raymond's army, experienced a vision of the Holy Lance being located at Antioch. Also known as the Spear of Destiny or the Spear of Longinus, this artifact was alleged to be the spear that pierced the side of Jesus Christ when he was on the cross. The Lance so boosted the Crusaders' morale that they were able to defeat a much larger Muslim force at the Battle of Orontes.

Long criticized by doubters that he had truly found the Holy Lance, Peter Bartholomew agreed to the suggestion of priest Arnul Malecorne that he undergo a trial by fire in order to prove the relic's authenticity. He died of his injuries less than two weeks later, but because he did not die immediately Malecorne declared the trial a success and the Lance genuine.

The spear that they say Hitler had was found in a bunker and is now in a museum. Personally I think the spear is back where it belongs, awaiting the arrival of a great warror. I also think that the spear has not seen the light of day since Roman times. When it was weilded by the warrior Constantius, Constantine's grandfather. It is said that Constantius was involved with a woman that came from a Goddess temple, which born them the son named Constaninius. I could be wrong, I havent brushed up on my Roman mythology in a while.

It's a fiction. That's like asking where Thor's hammer is. Sorry, but it doesn't exist.
