It was originally set up by the French aristocrat Gerard and several companions in a hospital near St. John's Baptist Church in Jerusalem. Its main purpose was to take care of the wounded and pilgrims. Due to the selfless contribution of pilgrims, the order of hospitals has developed rapidly. From 1 1 10, the Order agreed to hand over the property scattered in Jerusalem to the Order of the Hospital. 1 1 13 years, the Vatican recognized them as an independent religious order and granted them a series of economic and political privileges, such as not paying eleven taxes, not accepting the leadership of any regime, and only being controlled by the Pope.
