To get it to the home of the Maltese Cross and St John, Malta! And after it has roamed the geocaches of Malta and gone though many geocachers hands, try to get it back to New Zealand where I can give it a welcome home party!
When the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem first came into being is unknown although it was about 1070, when a hospice was established in Jerusalem by monks from a neighbouring Benedictine abbey to care for the growing number of Christians
The hospice soon developed into a hospital and in 1113 the Pope confirmed its independence. Over the next forty years it developed into a religious and military order, with its brothers and sisters (commonly known as Hospitallers of St John or Knights Hospitallers) providing care to the poor and sick of any faith. They also took on the additional role of defending all Christians and others within their care when they were threaten.
