La Orden Militar y Hospitalaria de San Lázaro de Jerusalén es una de las órdenes de caballería más antiguas, que data de las Cruzadas en Tierra Santa durante el siglo XI.
Hoy en día, los Caballeros y Damas de San Lázaro operan como una Asociación de Fieles de la Iglesia Católica, mantenida por su Protector Espiritual, el Cardenal Antoine Kambanda, a través de una organización no gubernamental, bajo el liderazgo de su Gran Maestre, S.A.R. el Príncipe François d’Orléans, Conde de Dreux. La Orden mantiene su sede internacional en las oficinas de la Cancillería de la Diócesis Católica de Orleans, Francia.
La Orden ha conservado sus valores morales tradicionales, como el espíritu de servicio, sacrificio y disciplina. Características que aún definen a los Caballeros y Damas en la actualidad

Volunteer with the
Order of Saint Lazarus
The Saint Lazarus Volunteers Corps effectively leverages the Order’s human, monetary and material resources to help promote the ancient and noble order’s historic mission of mercy and care by serving poor, sick, distressed and persecuted people everywhere regardless of their race, religion, or culture. The Auxiliary focuses its efforts on the order’s ancient hospitaller and military roots by supporting the Order’s hospital, hospice, lazar-house and other medical services to fight diseases of the body, soul, and the mind. It sallies forth again, as a militia of servant warriors clad in the shining armor of hope but wielding symbolic swords and spears of justice to battle a growing range of humanitarian crises in a world too often marked by darkness and despair. The Auxiliary seeks fresh ways to provide aid in the Christian spirit of a united brotherhood-sisterhood. It extends the order’s capacity to develop whole community partnerships with other people and groups to achieve its chivalric, charitable and hospitaller goals.
