The Knights Templar Fell Hard

 The fall of the Knights Templar

The Knights Templar, also known as the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and

 of the Temple of Solomon, or the Order of Solomon’s Temple, was a 

religious military order of knighthood who served the Catholic church.

Following the successes of the 1st Crusade, a number of Crusader states were formed in the Holy Land, leading to an influx of pilgrims from Western Europe to travel to the sacred sites of Christendom.

Many pilgrims were either killed by banditry, or whilst crossing through hostile Muslim controlled territory. This led to the founding of a military order called the Poor Knights of the Temple of King Solomon in 1118 by Hugues de Payens, along with relatives and brothers in arms, with the sole purpose of protecting travellers on their pilgrimage. 

The Knights Templar swore an oath of poverty, chastity, obedience, and were expected to honour the fasts and vigils of the monastic calendar just as the Cistercians and other monks.

I have been fascinated with the Knights Templar for more than 40 years. I read as much about them as I possibly can. Recently, The Curse of Oak Island has found them associated with treasure on the island, which would have been deposited about 1,000 years ago! (12th century!)

Is there anything that you find interesting enough to study it? I find myself studying alot of different subjects, especially pertaining to the Scriptures, those associated with the Scriptures, and artifacts. My DH studies anything alien related. I tried to get interested in that, so that we might have a shared interest, but I couldn't. Just not my thing. How about you?

Do you believe the Holy Grail (whatever that is), the Ark of the Covenant, or a ship in the swamp off Oak Island, Nova Scotia, is really out there, please let us know in the comments. Or if you believe aliens from space once lived on our planet, let us know! Everyone is safe to comment here, we will not tolerate any ridicule, or anyone 'picking for a fight'. No bullying allowed!

I'll be watching for your comment below!
