OSMTH (Sovereign Military Order Temple of Jerusalem)

The Knights Templar often expressed thanksgiving through religious ceremonies after significant victories or successes in their missions. After major battles, such as the defense of key Crusader strongholds, the Templars often held Mass to express gratitude for divine intervention and survival. Successfully escorting pilgrim caravans to the Holy Land would have been occasions for thanksgiving, marked by prayers and communal gatherings. Finally, the completion of fortresses like Atlit or Krak des Chevaliers likely involved ceremonies of dedication and thanks to God for His providence. These thoughts at this time of year, highlight the Templars' devotion and reliance on spiritual practices to commemorate achievements. . . . . #templar #templarios #knight #templars #crusader #crusade #knightstemplar #templarknight #templari #knights #medieval #deusvult #crusades #warrior #osmth #crusaders #history #christian #templier #knightstemplars #god #templiers #christianity #charity #templare #templario #catholic #holyland #brotherhood #sword

The Pastoralis Praeeminentiae was a papal bull issued by Pope Clement V on November 22, 1307. It instructed Christian rulers to arrest members of the Knights Templar and seize their properties. This was part of the larger suppression of the Templars, initiated by King Philip IV of France, who accused the Order of heresy and other crimes. The bull marked a turning point in dismantling the Templars' influence across Christendom, as it extended the campaign against them beyond France to other European territories. Despite the papal request, not all the monarchs complied immediately, most notably, Edward II of England who at first refused to believe the allegations, but later carried out the order. . . . . #templar #templarios #knight #templars #knightstemplar #templarknight #knights #osmth #history #christian #templier #knightstemplars #god #templiers #christianity #charity #templare #templario #catholic #holyland

Atlit, known as Pilgrims' Castle or Château Pèlerin, was built by the Knights Templar in 1218 near present-day Haifa, Israel. It served as a critical fortress and refuge for Crusaders, strategically positioned to protect Christian pilgrims and assert control over the coastline. The construction featured massive walls, double moats, and robust defenses to resist siege warfare. Atlit became a central stronghold until the fall of the Crusader States, marking one of the Templars' final major efforts in the Holy Land. . . . . #templar #templarios #knight #templars #crusader #crusade #knightstemplar #templarknight #templari #knights #medieval #deusvult #crusades #warrior #osmth #crusaders #history #christian #templier #knightstemplars #god #templiers #christianity #charity #templare #templario #catholic #holyland #brotherhood #sword

The Knights Templar, as a medieval Christian military order, were deeply rooted in the values of faith, humility, and service. Proverbs 15:33 resonates with the ideals they upheld, reflecting key aspects of their code of conduct and spiritual philosophy. Humility was a cornerstone of Templar life. Despite their military might and influence, Templars were expected to live modestly, placing the service of God above personal glory. They understood that true honor came not from earthly achievements but from serving a higher purpose. . . . . #templar #templarios #knight #templars #knightstemplar #templarknight #knights #osmth #history #christian #templier #knightstemplars #god #templiers #christianity #charity #templare #templario #catholic #holyland

OSMTH recognises the unique longevity and continuity of the Christian presence of the Armenian Patriarchate in the Old City of Jerusalem. OSMTH honours the role that the Armenian Apostolic Church plays in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. OSMTH is also deeply grateful for the spiritual protection which His Beatitude Archbishop Nourhan Manougian, the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem, has extended to our Order. OSMTH notes the efforts made by the Armenian Orthodox Christian community to support educational establishments in Jerusalem. Sts Tarkmanchatz School (the School of the Holy Translators) is located in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and provides primary and secondary education for both female and male students. The School was established in 1929, under the jurisdiction of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, and has educated over 2,000 pupils since then. . . . . #templar #templarios #knight #templars #crusader #crusade #knightstemplar #templarknight #templari #knights #medieval #deusvult #crusades #warrior #osmth #crusaders #history #christian #templier #knightstemplars #god #templiers #christianity #charity #templare #templario #catholic #holyland #brotherhood #sword

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign running annually from November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10, Human Rights Day. This year’s theme, hashtag#NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women, calls for action to prevent and end violence against women and girls globally. The statistic that every 11 minutes, a woman is killed by a partner or family member is both heartbreaking and a call to action. This year’s 16 Days of Activism theme—“Every [11] Minutes[1], a woman is killed. hashtag#NoExcuse. UNiTE to End Violence against Women”—underscores the urgency of the issue and highlights the global crisis of gender-based violence. https://lnkd.in/gF348SGk . . . . #conference #munconference #internationalmun #international #internationalconference #peace #opportunity #globalgoals #india #onlinemun #leaders #online #onlineconference #globalopportunity #africa #youngleaders #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #woman4women
