THE MILITARY AND HOSPITALLER ORDER OF SAINT LAZARUS OF JERUSALEM Bailiwick of New Zealand NEWSLETTER NO. 29 lST. QUARTER, 1978 ST. LAZARUS DAY, 17TH. DECEMBER, 1977 THE OPENING OF THE FIRST ST. LAZARUS VILLAGE FOR THE ELDERLY IN AUCKLAND A CLIMAX OF THREE YEARS OF DEDICATED EFFORT BY THE BAILIWICK OF NEW ZEALAND AND A CONTINUATION OF A TRADITION OF SERVICE TO MANKIND ESTABLISHED IN 1098 A.D. BY THE BRETHREN OF SAINT LAZARUS AT THE HOSPITALS OF JERUSALEM .. QUARTERLY COMMUNICATION FROM H.E. THE BAILIFF COLONEL THE CHEVALIER A.R. HUGHES, GCLJ, KMLJ, JP. 1HE Opening of the Saint Lazarus Village by the Hon. Herbert Walker, The Minister of Social Welfare, was an event long to be remembered in the history of the Order in New Zealand. Before a large gathering of Members of St. Lazarus, the Order of St. John, guests and friends, the Minister in his speech said such an undertaking represented careful planning and an enormous expenditure of energy by those respon­ sible. It was a credit to the Order and he was happy that his Government was able to make a grant to the St. Lazarus Trust Board to help the very necessary work of housing the elderly. He was also happy that the Order was already planning for an extension of its work in other parts of New Zealand and he would look forward with great pleasure in helping in any way possible. He was proud to be a Member of the Order and was delighted when asked to perform the opening ceremony. A brief dedic­ ation to the Glory of God was made by the Bailiwick Chaplain the Rev. Ronald Bambury , ChLJ . It was a moving experience for everyone present. After the unveiling of the Plaque the company left for Selwyn Village for the Service of admission to the Order. The Chapel of Christ the King was a perfect venue for the ceremony, indeed a very beatiful setting for such a service. Confrere J.R.TeR . Barrett wore his "Korowai", a Chiefly Cloak, as a symbol of his Maori ancestory, this added further colour and dignity to the proceedings. Confrere Douglas Arter was made a Knight of the Order for his outstanding work for the Baili­ wick. In the early days of the Order in New Zealand he was the Bailiwick' s first Secretary-General. At the completion of the proceedings, lunch was served in the Village theatre, a lovely building very suitable for such an occasion. In the after­ lunch speeches a special mention was made of our Confrere Richard Stopford Higgenbotham. He was congratulated on his receiving the M. B. E. in the Queen's Jubilee birthday honours list for services to his fellow man. At 88, Confrere Higgenbotham's response to the many congratulations was moving and warming. Confrere Geoff. Beesley was thanked for his representation of the New Zealand Bailiwick at the Grand Magistral meeting held in Malta last September, his very interesting report and his bringing back with him a copy of the old Royal Charter of King Henry III was greatlyappreciated, it brought home in a tangible way the Order's long and glorious past of service and devotion. In all perhaps it was the most successful of the Bailiwick's many happy occasions and augurs well for the future, demonstrating as it did the principals on which the Order was founded. My thanks to all who took part and to those well wishers unable to attend. BAILIFF THE NEW ZEALAND BAILIWICK. ANNUAL OBLATIONS: Members of the Bailiwick are reminded that annual oblations are now due. The obligations of Membership in our Order are minimal and the stipulations are fulfilled by payment of the passage fees upon joining and the annual oblations thereafter . The moral obligations are rather more extensive than the formal ones . Traditionally, there are two separate obligations imposed upon Members of our ancient Military and Hospitaller Order: the annual "Oblations" or fine for failure to perform Military service, and the "Obligations" or donations in lieu of participation in the Hospitaller activities of the Order. H. E . The Bniliff would therefore express the hope that all Members of the Bailiwick, and our well-wishers, will view with favour this annual call for financial support . 7he Order of Saint Lazarus is registered as a charitable trust and all donations are deductible for income tax purposes .

Internationally, we march to- wards achieving canonical status as an Association of the Faithful, which several of our Grand Priories have already attained na- tionally. We must continue to work hard to grow our order. We must also do more to spread our message of hope, by helping those who are lost or in need.

At the same time, it seems, the reality of heraldry's online presence falls somewhat short of the society's expectations.

HERALDS AT THE DELHI DURBARS Peter O 'Donoghue Three great imperial durbars took place on the Ridge outside Delhi during the height of the British Raj, on a site which was associated with the heroics of the Mutiny. The first durbar, in 1876-77, proclaimed Queen Victoria as Empress of India, whilst the second and third, in 1902-3 and 1911, proclaimed the accessions of Edward VII and George V respectively. All three drew upon Indian traditions of ceremonial meetings or durbars between rulers and ruled, and in particular upon the Mughal Empire's manner of expressing its power to its subject princes.

    º Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72 º PREFACE Knights come in many historical forms besides the traditional Knight in shining armor such as the legend of King Arthur invokes. There are the Samurai, the Mongol, the Moors, the Normans, the Templars, the Hospitaliers, the Saracens, the Teutonic, the Lakota, the Centurions just to name a very few. Likewise today the Modern Knight comes from a great variety of Cultures, Professions and Faiths. A knight was a "gentleman soldier or member of the warrior class of the Middle Ages in Europe. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider French chevalier and German Ritter) suggesting a connection to the knight's mode of transport. Since antiquity a position of honor and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship. Some orders of knighthood, such as the Knights Templar, have themselves become the stuff of legend; others have disappeared into obscurity. Today, a number of orders of knighthood continue to exist in several countries, such as the English Order of the Garter, the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, and the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. Each of these orders has its own criteria for eligibility, but knighthood is generally granted by a head of state to selected persons to recognize some meritorious achievement. In the Legion of Honor, democracy became a part of the new chivalry. No longer was this limited to men of noble birth, as in the past, who received favors from their king.

Rev. Archimandrite, Msgr. George Appleyard, VG, EGCLJ, CMLJ, GCrLJ “One of the sacred scribes , who have great acumen in predicting future events accurately, told the king that around this time a child would be born… who would excel everyone else in virtue and obtain a glory that would be remembered throughout all ages.” At first glance this text might seem to come from the Bible, perhaps a prophecy of the coming Messiah and the mysterious Magi who would come to worship him with regal gifts, and yet it comes from what we would consider a secular source, from Flavius Josephus’ book entitled ANTIQUITIES, Book 2, chapter 9, verse 205. He is reporting what was “in the air” at that time, the last quarter of the first Christian century and the beginning of the next. On hearing Josephus’s text, most of us cannot help but think of the Star of Bethlehem and the Magi com - ing to adore the newborn King of the Jews, that’s how deeply the story from Matthew’s Gospel has been imprinted on our Christian imagination, but the fact is that Balaam’s prediction found in the Book of Numbers 23:17 (Septu - agint) was an explosive topic more for political reasons than religious.

Every three years we call all members of the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem to come together to meet at the Chapter General. This is such an important moment in our life as an Order and provides an opportunity for us to reaffirm our identity, traditions and to set out a plan for future projects. It is important that our mission, as an historic Catholic Order of Chivalry, is underpinned by a personal commitment to Christian values and is supported by effective administration. I am pleased to address so many of you as we unite in this wonderful, historic city of Warsaw, the Capital of Poland, a fervent and courageous nation. It is only right that we should take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to the Grand Priory of Poland and to H.E. Chev. Krzysztof Polašik-Lipansky, its Grand Prior, for such effective organisation in preparation of this event. As members of the Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem we take this opportunity to explore our rich history, celebrate our unique identity, share our common aspirations and to exchange such a wealth of culture. It is a beautiful moment for us to reflect and consider the important role that we, as individuals, play in the life of the Order.
