We Come with Passports Instead of Swords: The 1926 Pilgrimage of the Order of St John to Jerusalem, Cyprus, Rhodes and Malta

Museum of the Order of St John

In March 1926, over 100 men and women sailed on the S.S Asia for the beginning of their momentous pilgrimage to the Holy Land. These pilgrims travelled across Jerusalem, Cyprus, Rhodes and eventually Malta to commemorate, honour and experience the journey of the Knights of the Order of St John. On their arrival ceremonies were held and acts of devotion made in ancient religious buildings once associated with the Order.

Dr. Mike Horswell tells us more about this pivotal Pilgrimage of the Order of St John to their historic homes.

Join us at 6.00pm to have a closer look at some of the fascinating Museum objects collected on this journey before the talk starts at 6.30pm.
