The Holy Lance Antioch 1098 Poster

In June 1098 the army of the First Crusade was trapped inside Antioch, starving and surrounded by the forces of Kerbogha. A pilgrim named Peter Bartholomew claimed a vision had revealed where the lance that pierced Christ lay buried, and on the 14th June 1098 it was dug up beneath the Cathedral of St Peter. Inspired, the crusaders marched out on the 28th June and broke the siege.

A spearhead blazes with light at the centre of a dark field, golden rays bursting outward, with THE HOLY LANCE above and its discovery at Antioch recorded below. A striking piece of crusader legend.
