After receiving many requests I have been able to work with a company, Perfect Imprinting. which has created a website for EOHSJ apparel. Feel free to go to the website and browse the selection of various items. I have ordered two dress shirts, one with the circle logo, which is embroidered, and another with the alternate logo which is embedded onto the shirt. Both turned out beautifully!
Please feel free to check out the website at: The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem
All the best during the remaining Lenten Season, God Bless.

View Article IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ - Important Letter regarding Christians in the Holy Land!!! Letter to President Biden RE Christians in Jerusalem - PDF Format Letter to President Biden RE Palestine Christians in Jerusalem - Word Format Please consider sending this letter to President Biden before he meets with Netanyahu in October. Here are the points that can help convey the message: 1) the Christian Palestinians are in dire need of your help.
2) Israel is instituting laws to quell the growth of Christians in the Holy Land and the U S policy makers
can change the trajectory of this change,
3) The Patriarch is working with all Christian denominations to appeal to world leaders on this issue,
but needs your help.
4) your support will give the Christians the hope they need to stay and support the church in Palestine. |
