The Knights of Christ

The Franciscan Monastery came out with a neat brochure. It describes the history of all the warrior monks: The Templars, Hospitallers and Teutonic Knights. There even were the Leper Knights of St. Lazarus. Bet you did not know. For more information you can write to the The Commissariat of the Holy Land, 1400 Quincy Street, N.E. Washington, DC 20017. Phone 202-526-6800. Their website is www.myfranciscan.org. A subscription is $19.95 as of this writing. It is a great history resource.
