$30.00
Greetings, supernatural savants and magic mavens! Straight from the mystical kilns of Southern Kentucky, Pawley Studios presents an exclusive tribute to your bewitching obsessions – our impressive “Knights of Lazarus Wax Seal”!
The Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem (Ordo Militaris et Hospitalis Sancti Lazari Hierosolymitani), better known as the Knights of Lazarus, is an order of chivalry originally founded at a leper hospital after 1098 by the crusaders of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. The order was established to treat leprosy — its knights originally being lepers themselves. It is possible that king Baldwin IV of Jerusalem was a knight of this order or was, at least, assisted by it.
The symbol of the Order is a green eight-pointed Maltese Cross. It is believed to have given rise to the use of the green cross as the universal symbol for retail pharmacies worldwide. The word lazarette, in some languages being synonymous with hospital, is believed to also be derived from the hospitaller Order of St Lazarus.
