 | | The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, better known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta or SMOM, is a Catholic lay order that claims to be a sovereign entity and has permanent observer status at the United Nations. | | | The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta is the main successor to this tradition. | | | SMOM is considered to be the most direct successor to the medieval Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Knights of Malta, and today operates as a largely charitable and ceremonial organization. |

| | Sovereign Military Order of Malta |
| | The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, commonly known as the Order of Malta, traces its origins to Jerusalem where, before the First Crusade (1099), it was founded by its first rector, Blessed Gerard (died 1120) when the Holy City was recovered by the Christians. | | | Malta occupied a strategic position between the Christian and Muslim worlds and the Order was the only obstacle to the continuing advance of Islam through the Mediterranean towards the heart of Christendom. | | | Its military role reduced, service to the poor and the sick became its foremost occupation and in the second half of the nineteenth century the national associations began to emerge and the Order assumed its present structure. |

| | The Order lost all hope of retaining Malta with the Treaty of Paris in 1814, in which it was stipulated that Malta would be British. | | | The Knights of Malta are famous for their heroic stance in the battle defending Malta from Salyman II in 1565, but there is much more to their history. | | | Sweden offered the Order the island of Gottland in the Baltic, but this offer was rejected as it would have meant giving up the claims to Malta. |

| | The original Order of Saint John, surviving today as the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta (the Sovereign Military Order of Malta), could be traced back to a hospital probably founded in about 1080 by the brothers of the Benedictine Monastery of Saint Mary Latina. | | | Fortunately for the Hospitallers, they were able to find an important role in the Mediterranean, but without this new responsibility as the protector of Christian shipping, it is probable that ultimately the Order either would have been suppressed or at least been forced to forgo its military function. | | | Seven year later they were granted a new home on the Island of Malta, where they remained until 1798. |
