EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a proud group of Knights Templar, likely gathered in the historic state of Maryland, USA, during the 1900s. The Knights Templar, an ancient and noble order founded in the 12th century in Europe, were known for their military and religious prowess. In this image, the American Knights Templar don their distinctive uniforms, complete with flowing white mantles, red crosses, and sashes. The men exude an air of authority and camaraderie, their stern expressions softened by the warm glow of the sunlight filtering through the trees behind them. The Knights Templar, also known as the Order of the Temple, were dissolved by the Catholic Church in 1312, but their legacy lived on through various revivals and re-establishments. In the United States, the Knights Templar Commandery was established in the late 1800s, and this photograph may depict members of one of these local chapters. The order emphasized chivalry, charity, and education, and its members were known for their community service and support of various causes. The intricate details of the Knights Templar uniforms are on full display in this photograph, from the embroidered crosses and intricate belts to the flowing mantles and sashes. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of this ancient order, which continues to inspire and captivate people around the world today.
