#Order st lazarus series#
Events in the late 20th century have resulted into a series of schisms of the MHOSLJ originally into two main "obediences" - the Malta and Paris Obediences. Today, the Savoyan Order still exists today as the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus while the French foundation exists as the internationally-based Military and Hospitaller Order of St.
Maurice under the Royal House of Savoy while in in France it was united administratively with the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel under the Royal House of France. Lazarus in Italy was merged with the Order of St. This was resisted by the Order in most countries where it still retained its houses. Starting with Pope Innocent VIII in the 1489, attempts were made to merge the Order and its land holdings with the Knights of St. Lazarus, though there is no documentation to substantiate this.Īfter several centuries, the Order went into decline and ceased to perform its original function of caring for lepers and managing leprosaria. The word lazarette, in some languages being synonymous with leprosarum, is believed to also be derived from the hospitaller Order of St Lazarus, these edifices being adopted into quarantine stations in the fifteenth century when leprosy was no longer the scourge it had been in earlier centuries.The use of the green cross as a universal symbol of pharmacies worldwide also is believed to have originated with the Order of St. This was in later centuries changed to a green eight-pointed Maltese Cross. The original symbol of the Order was a green cross. The Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem (Ordo Militaris et Hospitalis Sancti Lazari Hierosolymitani) is an order of chivalry originally founded at a leper hospital after 1098 by the crusaders of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.
