In early January, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem awarded the Golden Medal of the Holy Sepulchre to four members of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in recognition of their exceptional dedication and service to the Church’s mission in the Holy Land. The honorees—Msgr. Aybram Yvon from France, Mr. Khalid Yacoub Bahnan from the United States, and Mr. Luka Conte and Fr. Nicola Caino from Italy—were recognized for their significant contributions, including organizing pilgrimages, supporting seminaries and parishes, and maintaining long-standing commitment to the Patriarchate’s pastoral and humanitarian work. Through these awards, the Latin Patriarchate expressed its profound gratitude to those who faithfully support the living presence of the Church in the Holy Land.
