English: The Moriones Lenten Rites (Marinduque,Philippines) is devoted to Longinus, a half-blind Roman soldier that supposedly pierced Christ in the side with his lance. According to the legend, after he had pierced Christ, a drop of blood fell on his eye and he got his sight back. The miracle caused the Roman soldier to fully convert to Catholicism, which is why the Filipino people have an entire festival dedicated to him.
