Organizations and states have historically employed commemorative items to honour significant events in their history. These items have taken various forms that includes coins, jeton/medallions, medals, and stamps. Additionally, unique designs of decorative porcelain, pottery, and glassware have also been produced. These items have also served as effective tools for promoting fundraising efforts. The Order of Saint Lazarus was no exception to this movement. There have since been a significant number of commemorative medals and jeton/medallions issued over the subsequent decades. In addition, other commemorative items issued by various jurisdictions have included porcelain and pottery ware and philatelic items. All these serve as an important record of the history of the Order. An attempt has been made to collate a catalogue of the commemorative items which have been identified. It was felt that the time is ripe for bringing together the items in one catalogue for better reference.

At the age of 40, and after passing much turbulence in my life which really challenged my beliefs, I wanted to make happen what I really believed in. I really wanted to do something for others. I started doing research, writing what I learned from my research to give to others and one day I was approached to serve in the Local Community by being a Local Councilor. In 2012, I was also approached to be a member in The Military & Hospitaller Order of St Lazarus of Jerusalem: Grand Priory of the Maltese Islands, an Order who serves to help the poor and the needy and mainly the lepers around the world. Nowadays I am still a member and a really happy one! Being a member in this Order gives me the opportunity as a team, to help many, many in my country and even more around the world. In year 2014, I had also an opportunity, to go and see poverty, touch it with my own hands, and feel the need to give more and more...PERU 2014

Two personages named Lazarus can be identified in the New Testament - one being Lazarus of Bethany; the other Lazarus the Beggar of the parable. The available relevant texts in the New Testament appear to give very little background information about the historical Lazarus. However, much can be gleaned by analysing the available information in the light of historical, archaeological and biblical sources. There is even less known about the historical Lazarus of Bethany after Jesus" resurrection. The link between leprosy and St. Lazarus further led to the development of cults with associated iconography. The present publication is the result of a Workshop organised by the Grand Priory of the Maltese Islands of the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. The Workshop was organised with the aim of investigating the personage of the historical Lazarus and to outline the cults that developed around him during the Medieval Period.
