Order of Maximilian explained

Order of Maximilian should not be confused with Bavarian Maximilian Order for Science and Art.

The Order of Maximilian was an anti-war group active during the Vietnam War, composed of a community of priests and clergymen.^{[1] [2] [3]} The group took its name from the third-century Roman saint Maximilian of Tebessa,(Latin: Maximilianus) who was martyred in AD 295 for refusing to be conscripted.^{[4] [5]} In the present day, Maximilian's followers visit military posts, invaded prison camps and strongholds as a spiritual counselor to recruit Military priests and hold services of worship in honor of the saint itself.
