about slideAbout OSMTH

On behalf of our members in some 40 nations worldwide, we welcome you to the website of the best known international Templar Order in the world, and the only Templar Order recognized in Special Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council.  

1 Templar Legacy

The medieval Knights Templar, best known to us today as the famed warriors of the Crusades, were a devout military religious Order that uniquely combined the roles of knight and monk in a way the Western medieval world had never seen before.

Maronite Archdiocese of Beirut & 4 HOPE Foundation
in Lebanon

OSMTH acknowledges and gives great thanks for, the historic role that the Maronite Church has played in Lebanon and the Church’s continuing influence for good in Lebanese society today. The current seat of the Archbishop is in the city of Beirut, located in Saint George’s Cathedral, and the Archdiocese is divided into 127 parishes which, as of 2012, comprised 232,000 Maronite Catholics.

A Maronite community was present in Beirut during the period of the medieval Knights Templar.
