In 600, Pope Gregory the Great commissioned the Ravennate Abbot Probus, who was before Gregory's emissary at the Lombard court, to build a hospital in Jerusalem to treat and care for Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. This was the beginning of the Most Venerable Order of The Knights of St. John Jerusalem more commonly know now as St. John Ambulance.
