Chivalric orders

Chivalric Orders are institutions, often based in medieval Europe, that were established to promote values such as bravery, honor, and service, particularly in relation to military and Christian ideals. Members, usually knights, would undergo a formal initiation and adhere to a code of conduct. These orders often offered social status, recognition, and were linked to charitable or religious missions. Notable examples include the Knights Templar and the Knights of St. John. Today, some continue to exist, emphasizing heritage, philanthropy, and community service while preserving historical traditions.
