===Brazil=== ====Folkloric role==== In Brazil, Saint Longinus – in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], {{Lang|pt|São Longuinho}} – is attributed the power of finding missing objects. The saint's aid is summoned by the chant: {{Poem quote|São Longuinho, São Longuinho, se eu achar [missing object], dou três pulinhos! (O Saint Longinus, Saint Longinus, if I find [missing object], I'll hop three times!)}} Folk tradition explains the association with missing objects with a tale from the saint's days in Rome. It is said he was of short stature and, as such, had unimpeded view of the underside of tables in crowded parties. Due to this, he would find and return objects dropped on the ground by the other attendants.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pt.aleteia.org/2018/03/15/sao-longuinho-e-a-tradicao-dos-3-pulinhos/ |title=São Longuinho e a tradição dos 3 pulinhos |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2018-03-15 |website=Aleteia |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031142425/https://pt.aleteia.org/2018/03/15/sao-longuinho-e-a-tradicao-dos-3-pulinhos/ |archive-date=2020-10-31 |quote=Diz-se que ele era um homem baixinho e que, servindo na corte de Roma, vivia nas festas. Nesses ambientes, por sua pequena estatura, conseguia ver o que se passava por baixo das mesas e sempre encontrava pertences de pessoas. Os objetos achados eram devolvidos aos seus donos. Assim, teria surgido o costume de pedir-lhe ajuda para encontrar o que se perdeu.}}</ref> Accounts vary regarding the promised offering of three hops, citing either deference to an alleged limping of the saint or a plea to the [[Holy Trinity]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pt.aleteia.org/2018/03/15/sao-longuinho-e-a-tradicao-dos-3-pulinhos/ |title=São Longuinho e a tradição dos 3 pulinhos |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2018-03-15 |website=Aleteia |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031142425/https://pt.aleteia.org/2018/03/15/sao-longuinho-e-a-tradicao-dos-3-pulinhos/ |archive-date=2020-10-31 |quote=Diz-se também que essa forma de agradecimento seria pelo fato de o soldado ser manco. Outra explicação afirma que os pulinhos remetem à Santíssima Trindade.}}</ref> ====Brazilian spiritism==== Brazilian [[mediumship|medium]] [[Chico Xavier]] wrote ''Brasil, Coração do Mundo, Pátria do Evangelho'', a [[psychography|psychographic book]] of authorship attributed to the spirit of [[Humberto de Campos (journalist)|Humberto de Campos]]. In the book, Saint Longinus is claimed to have been reincarnated as [[Pedro II of Brazil|Pedro II]], the last Brazilian emperor.<ref>{{cite book |last=Xavier |first=Francisco Cândido |date=1938 |title=Brasil, Coração do Mundo, Pátria do Evangelho |url=http://www.oconsolador.com.br/linkfixo/bibliotecavirtual/chicoxavier/Brasil_Coracao_do_Mundo_Patria_do_Evangelho.pdf |chapter=D.

Leopoldina, a virtuosa esposa de D. Pedro, aquele que seria no Brasil o grande imperador e que, na expressão dos seus próprios adversários, seria o maior de todos os republicanos de sua pátria.}}</ref>
