Know Your Order: Our Lady of Philermos
date:
1/7/2015
In the vicissitudes of their history, the Knights of the Order venerated on Rhodes the icon of the Mother of God of Mount Philermos. They honored the Mother of God as Patroness of the Order, as portrayed in the sacred image, which has since accompanied the Order of Malta. On September 8th, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Order now commemorates the Mother of God of Philermos. As Mother of Good Counsel, Mary calls on us all to do whatsoever the Lord says and to serve Him. This is the perennial message of the Mother of God.
