Tweet

Just when you thought I was finished with Malta, here I am again with the stunning stamp that paid the passage for the Greeting postcard to reach my Southern most shores. Very regal - called the Knights of St John. the history behind the Knights of St John are as follows: "The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta (Latin: Supremus Ordo Militaris Hospitalis Sancti Ioannis Hierosolymitani Rhodius et Melitensis), also known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) or Order of Malta, is a Catholic lay religious order traditionally of military, chivalrous and noble nature" Did you know: ~ Malta is not one island – it’s an archipelago! - which is a chain of Islands. ~ Malta is a popular filming location for big budget productions - Even game of Thrones ~ Malta is home to 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Now that I find very fascinating. Another interesting find is that Malta is known to be one of the 48th Happiest countries in the world. So what do you think of another great stamp to add to my collection ?
