chrisrohling asked you:

I notice the Spear of Destiny pop up in a bunch of supernatural fiction and alt-history fiction (especially comics for whatever reason.) What’s the full story, if there is one beyond “the spear that pierced the side of Christ?” Thanks

A fine question…

The most important takeaway, although you should read the whole thing, is, “But please know this: medieval Christianity is EXACTLY LIKE the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Every background character gets his own name and history and magical powers.”
