"By this Sign you shall Conquer."

Just a photo I felt like uploading. Some of my favorite items: the Templar surcoat I made as a Christmas present for ~Aodhagain, my hand-and-a-half sword Thistlebiter, and my uber-Holy-Land-uped Rosary that was touched to many of the holy sites like the place of the Nativity, the Annunciation, the site of the Cross, and the Anointing Slab in the Holy Sepulchure. :D

I like the cross design I settled on for the surcoat. I miss it. :(

I love this picture it shows both the faith of the Templar with the Rosary as well as their roll as holy warriors with the sword.

I was just watching a special on the Hospitilars, and I learned that they adopted many of the exiled Templars. God Bless 'em!

Yep! I think there's an order in Spain that became the "Knights of Christ" or whatever, but they were composed of former Templars, but they weren't "Templars" anymore. :XD:

Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
