About 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.

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.

Membership

Membership within the Order is geographically-based, therefore applications of interest from the OSMTH International site are referred on to your closest or most pertinent national Grand Priory.

Pro Terra Sancta in Lebanon and Palestinian Territories

The Pro Terra Sancta Association (PTS) is a prominent non-governmental organisation, headquartered in Italy. The mission of Pro Terra Santa is to foster bonds between the Holy Land and the world. PTS is a non-profit organization that carries out projects to preserve the Holy Places, to support local communities, and to bring aid in humanitarian emergencies. PTS is present in the Middle East, wherever the Franciscan Friars of the Custody of the Holy Land are to be found.

OSMTH is conscious of the historic links between the Order of Knights Templar and the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor in the medieval period. As a modern organisation, OSMTH is most grateful for our various working relationships with today’s Franciscan Orders around the world.
