Holy Land of the Crusaders

A venture of faith into the Holy Land of the Crusaders, courtesy of the Franciscan Custody for you, gentle reader. They are happy to point out they have been there since the 13th century.

One would do well to slosh past the unhistorical slander and piffle about the Crusaders. We were there first, not the Scimitar, period. The Scimitar was a johnny-come-lately to Israel by 500 years and then made it hard for pilgrims to travel in safety. Deal with it.

Learn about the men who traversed mountain and vale to protect Christian pilgrims visiting the holy sites of Christendom. Get the facts here.
