Medieval Knights Go Digital: Order of St Lazarus Launches Facebook Page

Ever wondered what happens when history and chivalry meet the digital age? Well, wonder no more. The International Academy of the Order of St Lazarus, a Malta-based organisation with roots tracing back to the 12th century, has just launched its official Facebook page. Yes, you read that right. Knights in shining armour are now just a click away.

From Crusades to Clickbait

The Order of St Lazarus was founded in Jerusalem during the Crusades to care for those suffering from leprosy. Fast forward to 2022, and they’re caring for the community in a whole new way. The Academy, based in the historic city of Mdina, has taken to the internet to connect with the public and share its rich history and charitable work.

But it’s not all about the past. The Academy is also using its new platform to highlight its contemporary work. From supporting local charities to hosting events, the knights are actively involved in the Maltese community. And now, thanks to Facebook, everyone can be a part of it.
