Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem - The Order of Saint John has its origins in the time of the Crusades, when poor pilgrims to the Holy Land were given help and assistance by the Hospitaller Knights and, when sick, cared for by the Knights and Brothers of the Hospital of Saint John. Hence, from its foundation in the late eleventh century, the Order had been dedicated to helping the sick and poor.Order of Saint Stanislas - Castellans Web Site - Official web site of the Order of Saint Stanislas, an international charitable order of chivalry.
