| Abstract: | The patron-saint of the Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta is St John. At present it is clear that, at least since the papal bull of Paschal II of February 1113, St John refers to St John the Baptist. Historians of the past have occasionally mentioned the existence of two patron-saints of the Order, namely St John the Baptist and St John the Almoner. With regard earlier patron-saints of the Order, there may be some difficulty in establishing who was and who was not a patron-saint, especially when it comes to St John the Almoner. |
