Events
In 1223 Landgrave Ludwig IV of Thuringia founded the Hospital of Mary Magdalene in Gotha. Until the Reformation, the Order of St. Lazarus cared for the sick here, in its first commandery on German soil. We commemorate this occasion.
The Order will be organizing an International Pauline Pilgrimage in Malta on the 9th February 2024 [see Acts of the Apostles Chap 28].
