INTRODUCTION

The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem is a central body of the Roman Catholic Church. The Order is an association of Christian faithful, established according to ecclesiastical law and entrusted with a special mission from the Holy Father to aid the Church in the Holy Land and to strengthen among its members the practice of the Christian life. It is governed by the ordinary regulations of Canon Law, the dispositions of the Church, and the rules of its own constitution. 

For nearly 1000 years, the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre has served the Catholic Church by aiding Christians as well as those of other faiths in the Holy Land. Although they no longer ride horses into battle, they pledge their support to help the minority Christian communities remaining in the Holy Land as well as keeping the holy places and sites in Christian hands.

The video below, produced by Broken Arrow Films for the North Central Lieutenancy, provides an introduction to the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre.
