After killing two of the "Others", Eko pulled a branch out of the ground which he would later fashion into the stick he knows today. (The Other 48 Days) The stick is first seen used in action when Eko uses it to strike Michael, Jin and Sawyer when he deemed them a threat on the beach.

- Eko's stick was a walking staff made and carried by Mr. Eko; it was nicknamed the "Jesus stick" by Charlie, and called a prayer stick by Locke. Eko made his staff from a branch he broke off on the beach, carving into it various Bible scriptures (book, chapter, and sometimes verse), a small cross, and the Numbers. When asked by Claire what he was carving, Eko answered, "Things I need to remember." Following the implosion of the Swan, Eko's stick fell out of a tree, almost hitting Locke, who was regaining consciousness when it fell. ("Further Instructions")

Eko made his staff from a branch he broke off on the beach, carving into it various Bible scriptures (book, chapter, and sometimes verse), a small cross, and the Numbers. When asked by Claire what he was carving, Eko answered, "Things I need to remember." After Locke and Desmond locked Eko out of the Swan, Desmond picked up Eko's stick and questioned Locke on the significance of it, to which Locke replied that Eko carried it because he was a priest. ("Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2") Following the implosion of the Swan, Eko's stick fell out of a tree, almost hitting Locke, who was regaining consciousness when it fell. ("Further Instructions") After Eko's death, Locke retrieved the stick. Locke intended to use the stick as a marker for Eko's grave. As he was pounding the stick into the ground, he noticed an inscription: "Lift up your eyes and look north John 3:05". ("I Do") Locke interpreted "305" as a northward compass bearing, which led John, Kate, and Sayid to the Flame station. ("Enter 77") Eko's stick was last seen at The Barracks in the backpack Locke demanded that Alex get. ("The Man from Tallahassee")

(Orientation) When Claire approached Eko to introduce herself, she inquired as to what Eko was carving on the stick and he replied that it was things he needed to remember. What he was carving were various scriptures from the Bible. Eko's stick is commonly referred to as "The Jesus Stick" after a comment was made by Charlie. When Eko told Charlie to climb the tree to get a better vantage point, Charlie refused and stated "What if I don't? You're gonna beat me with your Jesus stick"? (The 23rd Psalm) Shortly after Locke wakes up in the jungle after the destruction of the Hatch, Eko's stick falls out of the sky at him. Locke took the stick back to the beach. Later, when Locke sought answers from the island in a sweat lodge, he had a vision which contained, among other things, Eko's stick surrounded by pools of blood. This prompted Locke to set out to rescue Eko from a polar bear. (Further Instructions) Upon Eko's death at the hands of the Monster, Locke retrieved the stick to use as the marker for Eko's grave. While driving the stick into the ground, the phrase "Lift up your eyes and look north, John 3:05" caught his eye. (I Do) Locke took this as a sign as to where he should go next, and followed a bearing of North 305 and was eventually led to the Flame Station. (Enter 77)
