The Knights Hospitaller were a Christian organization that began as an Amalfitan hospital founded in Jerusalem in approximately 1080 to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. After the Western Christian reconquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade it became a religious/military order under its own charter, and was charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the Order operated from Rhodes, over which it was sovereign, and later from Malta.
The monastic hospitaller order was founded following the First Crusade. Initially the group cared for pilgrims in Jerusalem, but the order soon extended to providing pilgrims with an armed escort, which soon grew into a substantial force. The Hospitallers and the Knights Templar, formed in 1119, became the most powerful Christian groups in the Holy Land. The order came to distinguish itself in battles with the Muslims, its soldiers wearing a black surcoat with a white cross, although this was later changed to the better known red surcoat with the sign of the cross on it in white.
By the mid-12th century the order was clearly divided into military brothers and those who worked with the sick. It was still a religious order and had privileges granted by the Papacy; for example, the order was exempt from all authority save that of the Pope, and it paid no tithes and was allowed its own religious buildings. Many of the more substantial Christian fortifications in the Holy Land were built by the Templars and the Hospitallers. At the height of the Kingdom of Jerusalem the Hospitallers held seven great forts and 140 other estates in the area.
The rising power of Islam eventually expelled the Knights from Jerusalem. After the fall of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1291 (Jerusalem itself fell in 1187), the Knights were confined to the County of Tripoli, and when Acre was captured in 1291 the order sought refuge in the Kingdom of Cyprus, from where they later moved to Rhodes.
On Rhodes the Hospitallers, then also referred to as the Knights of Rhodes, were forced to become a more militarised force, fighting especially with the Barbary pirates. They withstood two invasions in the 15th century, one by the Sultan of Egypt in 1444 and another by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1480 who, after capturing Constantinople 1453A.D., made the Knights a priority target. In 1522 an entirely new sort of force arrived: 400 ships under the command of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent delivered 200,000 men to the island. Against this force the Knights, under Grand Master Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, had about 7,000 men-at-arms and their fortifications. The siege lasted six months, at the end of which the surviving defeated Hospitallers were allowed to withdraw to Sicily.
After seven years of moving from place to place in Europe the Knights got an established base again in 1530 when Charles V of Spain, as King of Sicily, gave them Malta, in exchange for an annual fee of a single Maltese falcon, which they were to send on All Souls Day to the King's representative, the Viceroy of Sicily.
In 1565 Suleiman sent an invasion force of 40,000 men to besiege the 700 knights and 8,000 soldiers and expel them from Malta, with the aim of gaining a base from which to launch an assault on Europe. The Great Siege of Malta was one of the greatest sieges in history. By the time the Ottomans withdrew the Hospitallers had only 600 men still able to bear arms. Of the 40,000 Ottomans, only 15,000 returned to Turkey. Malta’s capital Valletta is named in memory of the Grand Master who withstood the siege.
The Knights Hospitaller remained on Malta for 268 years, however they declined in power and influence through the 17th and 18th centuries, largely due to their losing their raison d'etre.
Their end was brought about by Napoleon, who in 1798 during his expedition to Egypt, as a ruse, asked for safe harbour to resupply his ships, and then turned against his hosts once safely inside Valletta. Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim failed to anticipate or prepare for this threat, provided no effective leadership, and readily capitulated to Napoleon, arguing that the order's charter prohibited fighting against Christians.
The order still exists, as a Roman Catholic religious order based in Rome.

Adding some scuffing and grime. I really want to add rust, but not sure it fits. Maybe I keep that in reserve for Nurgle...

The knights on the Passion Facade are said to be inspired by the heads atop Casa Mila, another Gaudi work.
“No one is coming to rescue us“, was the utterance of the last would be King. This King believed he was sent on a mission from God. He filled his court with cronies and court jesters. Those who pointed out his folly were exiled from the Kingdom., all the brave Knights have left the fortress.
For the poor peasants and surfs in the once grand Empire, a new reality has set in- there are no Knights in Shinning armor. Long ago the castle defenses were breached. No longer willing and able to fight, most simply choose to flee. These refugees are moving in slow motion. One by one they are packing up their earthly possessions and heading out to new frontiers just as their ancestors did many generations ago.
To mark the 800th anniversary of the Battle of Lincoln,a series of figures were erected around the city - this one being "Knight Jigsaw" by Jon Garside.

The Knights of Pythias is a fraternal organization founded at Washington, DC on 19 February 1864.
The Knights of Pythias was the first fraternal organization to receive a charter under an act of the United States Congress (approved May 5, 1870 [16 Stat. at L. 98, chap. 80]). It was founded by Justus H. Rathbone, who had been inspired by a play by the Irish poet John Banim about the legend of Damon and Pythias. This legend illustrates the ideals of loyalty, honor and friendship that are central to the order.
The order has over two thousand lodges in the United States and Canada, with a total membership of over 50,000 in 2003.
The order's membership was originally restricted to white males. In 1880, an organization called "The Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa" was founded; it reserved its membership to Blacks and Asians. The original order sued, alleging that the new order used the name without authorization. The case reached the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled that the new order was allowed to use the name. CRESWILL v. GRAND LODGE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS OF GEORGIA, 225 U.S. 246 (1912)
The racial requirement for membership was dropped in the 1950's. Although belief in a Supreme Being is a major element of the Pythian creed, the organization is completely non-sectarian and has never restricted membership on the basis of religion so long as one follows this belief in some form or other. In fact, in some parts of the U.S. (such as in the metro New York area), membership is predominantly (in some lodges almost entirely) Jewish.
The order's ladies' auxiliary is the Pythian Sisters. An associated organization is the less-serious Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan.
The Knights of Pythias sponsors two youth organizations: the Pythian Sunshine Girls and the Junior Order, Knights of Pythias for boys.
After long anticipation, I had rented the new Zeiss Otus lens, 55mm f/1.4. Here are a few pictures from my favorite haunts around downtown Chicago. Enjoy!
