about slideAbout OSMTH

On behalf of our members in some 40 nations worldwide, we welcome you to the website of the best known international Templar Order in the world, and the only Templar Order recognized in Special Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council.  

1 Templar Legacy

The medieval Knights Templar, best known to us today as the famed warriors of the Crusades, were a devout military religious Order that uniquely combined the roles of knight and monk in a way the Western medieval world had never seen before.

Armenian Patriarchate & Sts Tarkmanchatz School
in Jerusalem

OSMTH recognises the unique longevity and continuity of the Christian presence of the Armenian Patriarchate in the Old City of Jerusalem. OSMTH honours the role that the Armenian Apostolic Church plays in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. OSMTH is also deeply grateful for the spiritual protection which His Beatitude Archbishop Nourhan Manougian, the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem, has extended to our Order.

OSMTH notes the efforts made by the Armenian Orthodox Christian community to support educational establishments in Jerusalem. Sts Tarkmanchatz School (the School of the Holy Translators) is located in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and provides primary and secondary education for both female and male students. The School was established in 1929, under the jurisdiction of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, and has educated over 2,000 pupils since then.
