We are officially registered in Georgian Public Registry non-profit NGO.

In Georgian our name is "Military Brotherhood of the Knights of Georgia TADZRELEBI".

In Latin: Ordo Supernus Militaris Templi Georgiae (OSMTG)  Tadzrelebi.

Today TADZRELEBI is synonimus of Templar, but Tadzrelebi is the Georgian word and translates as the Templars (tadzari = the temple), however, has Georgian roots much more ancient than the Templars: "Tadzrelebi" called initially (6-8 century AD), monks of the Georgian Cross Monastery in Palestine, who not only ministered to the Lord, but also defended his monastery from uninvited guests on their own.

By 12 century AD in the army of David the Builder in the Battle of Didgori already have a special kind of troops - Tadzreulni. It was heavily armed soldiers under the direct command of the king. However, in this same battle also involved the European Crusaders, known in the georgian annals of "Francs".

We are the followers of the tradition of Georgian and European ancient Knights, Soldiers of the Lord, 9-14 centuries AD.
