Order of Saint Lazarus

The Order of Saint Lazarus is a historic Christian charity and chivalric order originating in the Middle Ages, originally dedicated to caring for leprosy sufferers. Over time, it evolved into a modern organization emphasizing humanitarian work, medical aid, and charity, especially related to healthcare and social services. While it has noble roots as a knightly order, today it functions as a charitable entity promoting compassion, community service, and support for those in need, maintaining a sense of tradition and history while focusing on contemporary humanitarian efforts.
