EDITORS COMMENTS
The Johanniter Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon, during the 1910s, is depicted in this evocative photograph. The hospital, which is part of the Old City of Beirut, is a symbol of the long-standing presence of the Order of St. John in the region. Established in the 12th century, the Order of St. John, also known as the Hospitallers or the Knights Hospitaller, is a global religious and charitable organization that has provided medical care and humanitarian assistance for over 900 years. In this image, we see the hospital's imposing facade, adorned with intricate stonework and arches, reflecting the architectural influences of the Middle East and Europe. The hospital's name, "Johanniter," is inscribed in large letters above the entrance, paying homage to the Order's founder, St. John the Baptist. The hospital's proximity to the Ecole Supérieure des Affaires (ESA) and the American University of Beirut (AUB) is evident in the photograph, highlighting the institution's role as a key healthcare provider in the heart of the city. During the early 20th century, Beirut was a thriving cultural and intellectual hub, attracting students and scholars from around the world. The Johanniter Hospital played an essential role in catering to the medical needs of this diverse population. Despite the challenges and turmoil that Lebanon and Beirut have faced throughout history, the Johanniter Hospital remains a beacon of hope and healing. Today, it continues to provide essential healthcare services to the local community, upholding the Order of St. John's commitment to compassion, care, and service to humanity.
