The Order of St. Lazarus, also known as the Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, is a historical Christian military order that traces its origins back to the medieval period. The order was initially founded in the late 11th century, during the time of the Crusades, to care for and provide assistance to people suffering from leprosy. Leprosy was a devastating disease in medieval times, and the order focused on providing medical care, shelter, and support to those afflicted by it.
Today its membership is open to all Christian men and women. It is recognised as an international NGO (non-government organisation) and is actively involved in works largely associated with medical care, primarily through the operation of medical facilities such as hospitals and clinics. It is actively involved in a broad array of charitable activities.
The 50th Grand Master of the order is His Excellency Don Francisco de Borbon, Graf von Hardenberg GCLJ .

Four flames burn, yet the watch is not finished.
On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, Christians across the world stand close to Christmas, but not yet within it. Love has drawn near, but the final vigil remains. These last days are not waiting without purpose. They are an invitation to fidelity.
Beneath the Visitation’s glass, where love once went in haste to serve and hope took flesh in quiet faithfulness, a chaplain of the Order of Saint Lazarus keeps watch. This posture is not new. For more than nine centuries, the Order has stood at the edges of suffering, born amid the trials of the Crusades, shaped by care for the sick and forgotten, and carried forward today through humanitarian and charitable service to those most in need.
Every candle is lit, yet the night still lingers. This is where chivalry truly lives. Not in pageantry, but in perseverance. Not in conquest, but in compassion. Not in titles, but in service.
Across Christian traditions, the same call echoes in these final days of Advent. Guard hope. Practice love where it is costly. Hold the light for a world still waiting.
The vigil continues.
So does the mission.
