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?” ThanksA 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.”
