During the Crusades, the Knights Templar were organized to protect European pilgrims who were making their way towards Jerusalem. While they were disbanded hundreds of years again, the new Pope has brought back the old Knights Templar to "protect" Christianity yet again. Now they are on a Crusade against witches in a witch-hunt like never before.
During the Crusades, in order to separate themselves from the rest of the knights the Templars began wearing a red cross on their shoulders:
While the Templar Knights during the Crusades wore all white with the red cross, to be discrete, the Knights Templar of today have the red cross on white gloves that they must keep with them at all times, whether or not they are wearing them.
This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands... I Google things at random, lol.
Quite informative, there is a few mention of witches, witchcraft, etc., but good for a history lesson on our red crossed members.
I found as I read further into the Templars of today (on an actual Templars site that I'm not going to list for the fact that it's slightly for recruiting) for some reason I found them creepy. They don't go out and harm people, but they're just eerie to me.
By all means please add to this list if you wish to! Just remember this if for information, any questionable material will be removed!
