| | Knights Templar |
 | | The Templars and the Hospitalers became essential for the defense of the Christian crusader states of the Holy Land, and the pilgrim routes. | | | It has been claimed that the Templars were the custodians of The Shroud of Turin, The Holy Grail, and The Ark of the Covenant. | | | The Knights Templar were founded by a small number of French knights who wanted to devote themselves to the protecting pilgrims en route to the Holy Land, and who wanted to form a religious community with that aim. |

| | Knights Templar Seal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A symbol showing the belief of the templars in Jesus: "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matthew) suggesting that Christ rides with each of the brothers. | | | It is very doubtful that the Grand Master of the Temple would openly endorse such a practice by adopting a symbol of it as his official seal, considering that this would have been an affront to the authority and beliefs of the Church, not to mention a deliberate transgression against the Order's vow of chastity. | | | A symbol of Pegasus, the only argument being the shape. |

| | Another Templar by the name of John de Stoke stated that Jacques de Molay had instructed that he should know that Jesus was but a man, and that he should believe in 'the great omnipotent God, who was the architect of heaven and Earth, and not the crucifixion'. | | | The Templars were accused of spitting upon the Cross, of denying Christ, of permitting sodomy, of worshipping an idol, all in the most impenetrable secrecy. | | | On the other hand, the Templars who had pleaded guilty before their bishops were to be treated "according to the rigours of justice, tempered by a generous mercy". |

| | Founding of the Knights Templar |
| | There was no standard form of Templar church: a very few, curricular or polygonal, recalled the shape either of the Dome of the Rock at Jerusalem (the 'Temple of God' of the Templar seal) or of the octagon of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem. | | | Their Order of Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon grew from a group of pious soldiers who fathered in Jerusalem during the second decade of the twelfth century. | | | The avowed object of the Templars was to protect the Christians who came to visit the Holy Places: their secret object was the re-building of the Temple of Solomon on the model prophesied by Ezekiel." |

| | Militia of Christ: The History of the Knights Templar |
| | Secret connections were made with the Muslim equivalent of the Templars, the Hashishim or Assassins, a sect of fanatical militant adepts; rumors had it that the Hashishim were in the employ of the Templars. | | | The shroud of mystery around the Templars and their exploits, and subsequent survival, has led to a plethora of legends, folk-tales and romanticized versions of their story being told over the years. | | | However, given their avowed nature as Soldiers of Christ (many of whom had died defending Christianity in the Crusades), the most unlikely charge leveled at the Templars was that they had ritually denied Christ, repudiating, trampling and splitting on the Holy Cross. |

| | Inasmuch as the Templar's prime reason for existence had been in conquering infidel lands and defending the Holy Land, this constituted something of a problem. | | | Hugues proposed to form the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon (to become known as the Templars). | | | He and his subordinates were to be warrior-monks, soldier-mystics, combining the austere discipline of the cloister with a martial zeal tantamount to fanaticism -- a "militia of Christ" as they were called at the time. |

| | Knights Templar |
| | The classic round Templar church, founded on octagonal geometry and supposedly based on the design of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, became such a distinctive feature of Templar construction that it became almost diagnostic of their activity or involvement. | | | Over a period of 200 years, the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon — the Knights Templar for short, which began as a 9-man team of well-intentioned noblemen, dedicated to defending the Holy Land from the Saracens, became the most powerful — and most secretive — organization in history. | | | There is a letter to him from the Bishop of Chartres dated 1114, congratulating him on his intention to join la Milice du Christ, which is another name for the Knights Templar. |
