History & Background
The Order of St John traces its origins back to the 11th century, when it was founded in Jerusalem as a religious and military order dedicated to providing care for the sick and injured. Over centuries, it evolved into a prominent chivalric order, with a strong presence in England, Malta, and across Europe.
In the 19th century, the Order was revived in Britain as a charitable organization, dedicated to humanitarian aid, medical assistance, and first aid training. Today, the Order of St John is recognized worldwide for its service through St John Ambulance, a leading provider of emergency medical aid.
