TradCatKnight: The Knights of St. John of JerusalemOf the most famous "militant orders," the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller, the latter proved both more enduring and more Christian. Today's entry is a tribute to them. The roots of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem go back before the First Crusade. In about 1070, a hospice for pilgrims was established near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher with funds from Italian merchants and staffed by Benedictine monks and nuns. tradcatknight.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-knights-of-st-john-of-jerusalem.html#moreAttachments:
