Formerly called

The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem (

Grand Prior. Its headquarters are situated at the Palazzo Della Rovere and its official church in Sant'Onofrio al Gianicolo, both in Rome, close to Vatican City.[3]

Name

Church of the Holy Sepulchre (1885). Other than some restoration work, its appearance has essentially not changed since 1854.

The name of the knights and order varied over the centuries, including Milites Sancti Sepulcri and The Sacred and Military Order of the Holy Sepulchre. The current name was determined on 27 July 1931 as the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem (with of Jerusalem as honorary

Latin: equites), a social class in Ancient Rome
.

Latin: Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri), leader of the First Crusade and first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Fresco by Giacomo Jaquerio in Saluzzo, northern Italy
(circa 1420).

The history of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem runs common and parallel to that of the religious Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre, the order continuing after the Canons Regular ceased to exist at the end of the 15th century (except for their female counterpart, the Canonesses Regular of the Holy Sepulchre).

Background

Pilgrimages to the Holy Land were a common, if hazardous, practice from shortly after the crucifixion of Jesus[4] to throughout the Middle Ages. Numerous detailed commentaries have survived as evidence of this early Christian devotion.[4] While there were many places the pious visited during their travels, the one most cherished was the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, first constructed by Constantine the Great in the 4th century AD.[5]

During the era of the

Mediterranean and pilgrimage to Jerusalem.[6]

By virtue of its defining characteristic of

the Occident.[8][9]

Persecution of Christians in the Holy Land intensified and relations with Christian rulers were further strained when Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah ordered the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 1009.[10]

Crusades

The crusades coincided with a renewed concern in

Gabrielli family, who was the leader of 1000 knights from Gubbio, Umbria, during the First Crusade, was the first crusader to enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre after Jerusalem was seized in 1099.[11]

After the

Papal Bull of Pope Paschal II, with the Milites Sancti Sepulcri attached, it is considered among the oldest of the chivalric orders.[13][1][14] Indications suggest that Hugues de Payens (c. 1070–1136) was among the Milites Sancti Sepulcri during his second time in Jerusalem in 1114–16, before being appointed "Magister Militum Templi", establishing the Knights Templar.[15]

Between c. 1119–c. 1125,

Aside from William and Pagan, no secular authorities witnessed the treaty, perhaps indicating that the allied Venetians considered Jerusalem a papal fief

The friars quickly resumed possession of their convent of Mount Zion at Jerusalem. The Turks tolerated the veneration paid to the tomb of Christ and derived revenue from the taxes levied upon pilgrims. In 1342, in his bull

Pius IX in 1847 superseded the Franciscans.[25]

With the emergence of the

Custodian of Mount Sion was the only authority representing the Holy See in the Holy Land.[26]

Documented from 1335, the Franciscan Custody enrolled applicants as Knights of the Holy Sepulchre in ceremonies frequently mentioned in the itineraries of pilgrims. Those pilgrims deemed worthy received the honour in a solemn ceremony of ancient chivalry. However, in the ceremonial of reception at the time, the role of the clergy was limited to the

benedictio militis
, the dubbing with the sword being reserved to a professional knight, since the carrying of the sword was incompatible with the sacerdotal character, and reserved to previous knights.

The significance of the pilgrimages is indicated by various commemorations of the knights. The

Jeruzalemkerk in Bruges, Belgium, built by Anselm Adornes
(knighted 1470). The latter still stands to this day, modelled on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and today adorned with the heraldry of the order.

Some property of the Knights in Italy was transferred to the newly established Order of Our Lady of Bethlehem in 1459, but the merger proved a failure.[31] The Order of Our Lady of Bethlehem was suppressed almost as soon as it was founded and those orders whose goods the pope had transmitted to it were re-established.[32][33]

Franciscan Grand Magistry

From 1480 to 1495,

of the Knights, a title acknowledged by various pontifical diplomas.

When the

Acre as its seat. In the territory of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, reinstituted in 1847, the Franciscans still have 24 convents, and 15 parishes.[36]

Papal Grand Magistry (1496–1847)

Grand Master
for himself and his successors.

In 1496,

Grand Master, reserving this title for himself and his successors.[37]

The prerogative of dubbing Knights of the Holy Sepulchre was repeatedly confirmed by the Holy See; by Pope Leo X on 4 May 1515, by Pope Clement VII in 1527 and by Pope Pius IV on 1 August 1561.

The privileges of the order, recorded by its guardian in 1553 and approved by successive popes, included powers to:[26]

  • Legitimise bastards
  • Change a name given in baptism
  • Pardon prisoners they might meet on the way to the scaffold
  • Possess goods belonging to the Church even though they were
    laymen
  • Be exempt from taxes
  • Cut a man down from the gallows and to order him to be given a Christian burial
  • Wear brocaded silk garments
  • Enter a church on horseback
  • Fight against the infidel
Cardinal-cousin Giulio de' Medici (left), future Pope Clement VII, in painting by Raphael
(1519). Both endorsed the dubbing of knights.

In France, King Henry IV of France purchased its French possessions and incorporated them into his newly established Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, formally established by Pope Paul V through the bull Romanus Pontificus on 16 February 1608 and expanded through Militantium ordinum dated 26 February 1608, along with possessions of other orders which apparently were all deemed extinct and abolished, indicating reduced regional activity.[38]

Nonetheless, the dubbing and the privileges enjoyed continued confirmation, by

Benedict XIV (1675–1758) who approved all but the last of the privileges of the order, and also stated that it should enjoy precedence over all orders except the Order of the Golden Fleece
and the Pontifical Orders.

Knights of the Holy Sepulchre dubbed during this era include Hieronymus von Dorne (circa 1634) and François-René de Chateaubriand (1806).

Restoration of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem (1847)

Main article: Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem

Pius IX re-established the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem in 1847, and re-organized the Order of the Holy Sepulchre as the Milites Sancti Sepulcri, whereby the grand master of the order was to be the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, and the order ceased to be a pontifical order for a period. Initially, the Sovereign Military Order of Malta
opposed the decision and claimed rights to its legacy, probably based on the papal decision of 1489. However, in 1868 it was named Equestris Ordo Sancti Sepulcri Hierosolymitani (Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem).

Pope

Pius XI
in favour of the patriarch of Jerusalem, and for a time the order again ceased to be a papal order.

In 1932,

Pius XI approved a new constitution and permitted investiture in the places of origin and not only in Jerusalem.[40]

Protection of the Holy See (from 1945)

Main article: Holy See

In 1945, Pope

cardinal of the Roman Curia
, and that the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem be the Grand Prior of the order. In 1962 the Constitution of the Order was again reformed and the order was recognized as a juridical person in canon law.

The current Constitution of the Order was approved by Pope

Paul VI in 1977, and it maintains those arrangements. The order's status was further enhanced by Pope John Paul II in 1996, when, in addition to its canonical legal personality, it was given civil legal personality in Vatican City State, where it is headquartered. An amendment to the Constitution of the Order was approved by Pope John Paul II simultaneously with the concession of Vatican legal personality for the order.[1]

Organisation

(2013).

The order today remains an order of chivalry and is an association of the faithful with a legal canonical and public personality, constituted by the

Canon Law 312, paragraph 1:1,[1] represented by 60 lieutenancies in more than 40 countries around the world: 24 in Europe, 15 in the United States and Canada, 5 in Latin America and 6 in Australia and Asia.[2]
It is recognised internationally as a legitimate order of knighthood, headquartered in Vatican City State under papal sovereignty and having the protection of the Holy See.

Purpose and activities

Its principal mission is to reinforce the practice of Christian life by its members in absolute fidelity to the pope; to sustain and assist the religious, spiritual, charitable and social works and rights of the

Christians in the Holy Land, particularly of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem which receives some 10 million dollars annually in donations from members of the order.[41]
Other activities around the world are connected to their original functions.

Regional activities include participation in local processions and religious ceremonies, such as during Holy Week.

In 1496, Pope Alexander VI vested the office of Grand Master in the papacy where it remained until 1949.[3] Since 1949, cardinals have held the office. The incumbent Cardinal Grand Master has been Fernando Filoni since 2019.

The Grand Magisterium also includes:

The offices of the Grand Magisterium are in the headquarters in Rome.[45]

Heraldry

Grand Magistry and Lieutenancies of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre

By ancient tradition, the order uses the arms attributed to the

Jerusalem Cross on a silver/white background – but enamelled with red, the colour of blood, to signify the five wounds of Christ.[47]
Prior use of the symbol is in the 1573 Constitution of the Order.
cross crosslet
rather than cross potent) as the emblem of the order in his 1486 travelogue.

Above the shield of the armorial bearings is a sovereign's gold helmet upon which are a crown of thorns and a terrestrial globe surmounted by a cross, flanked by two white standards bearing a red Jerusalem cross. The supporters are two angels wearing dalmatic tunics of red, the one on the dexter bearing a crusader flag, and the one on the sinister bearing a pilgrim's staff and shell: representing the military/crusading and pilgrim natures of the order.

The motto is

Deus lo Vult
("God Wills It"). The seal of the order is in the shape of an almond and portrays, within a frame of a crown of thorns, a representation of Christ rising from the Sepulchre.

The Order of the Holy Sepulchre and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta are the only two institutions whose insignia may be displayed in a clerical coat of arms.[48]

Female members wear a black cape with a red Jerusalem cross bordered with gold.

The choir vestments of Canons of the Holy Sepulchre include a black cassock with magenta piping, magenta fascia, and a white mozetta with the red Jerusalem cross.

Membership

The order today is estimated to have some 30,000 knights and dames in 60 Lieutenancies around the world, including

heads of state from countries such as Spain, Belgium, Monaco, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.[2][41]

Membership of the order is by invitation only, to practicing Catholic men and women – laity and clergy – of good character, minimum 25 years of age,[41] who have distinguished themselves by concern for the Christians of the Holy Land. Aspirant members must be recommended by their local bishop with the support of several members of the order, and are required to make a generous donation as a "passage fee", echoing the ancient practice of crusaders paying their passage to the Holy Land, as well as an annual financial offering for works undertaken in the Holy Land, particularly in the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, throughout their life. There is a provision for the grand master to admit members by motu proprio in exceptional circumstances and also for the officers of the Grand Magistery to occasionally recommend candidates to the grand master.[50]

The honour of

knighthood and any subsequent promotions are conferred by the Holy See – through diploma sealed and signed by the assessor for general affairs of the Secretariat of State in Rome as well as the cardinal grand master – which approves each person, in the name of and by the authority of the pope. The candidate is then knighted or promoted in a solemn ceremony with a cardinal or major prelate presiding.[51]

Knights and dames of the order may not join, or attend the events of, any other order that is not recognised by the Holy See or by a sovereign state, and must renounce any membership in such organisations before being appointed a knight or dame of the Holy Sepulchre. Knights and dames may be expelled from the order in circumstances where they breach its code of conduct.[51]

Ranks

There are several grades of knighthood. These are open to both men and women. While

grand cross, bishops are commanders
with star, and priests and transitional deacons start with the rank of knight but may be promoted to commander. Permanent deacons are treated the same as the lay knights. Female members may wear chest ribbons rather than neck crosses, and the military trophies in insignia and heraldic additaments are replaced by bows.

Below are shown the official titles of the ranks in English[52] (Italian, French, German, Spanish):[53]

  • Knight / Dame of the Collar
    (Cavaliere/Dama di Collare, Chevalier/Dame de Collier, Kollar-Ritter/-Dame, Caballero/Dama de Collar)
  • Knight / Dame Grand Cross (KGCHS / DGCHS)[54]
    (Cavaliere/Dama Gran Croce, Chevalier/Dame de Grand Croix, Großkreuz-Ritter/-Dame, Caballero/Dama de Gran Cruz)
  • Knight Commander with Star / Dame Commander with Star (KC*HS / DC*HS)
    (Grand'Ufficiale, Grand Officier, Großoffizier, Commendator Grand Oficiale)
    (Dama di Commenda con placca, Dame de Commande avec plaque, Komtur-Dame mit Stern, Dama de Encomenienda con Placa)
  • Knight / Dame Commander (KCHS / DCHS)
    (Commendatore, Commandeur, Komtur, Comendator)
    (Dama di Commenda, Dame de Commande, Komtur-Dame, Dama di Ecomendienda)
  • Knight / Dame (KHS / DHS)
    (Cavaliere/Dama, Chevalier/Dame, Ordensritter/Dame, Caballero/Dama)

In English, a female member of this order is sometimes called "lady" in reaction to the US slang use of the term "dame" to refer to any woman. However, in accordance with standard chivalric practice in English, female members are called "dame" (from the Latin title Domina, Italian Dama, etc.) and this is the usual practice in most lieutenancies.[a]

Canons

See also: Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre

In accordance with the origins of the order, and considered more consistent with ordained ministry than the military title of knight,

commander.[55] Additionally, deacons, priests and bishops may also be given the distinguished honorary title of canon of the Holy Sepulchre personally by the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem.[56] Both titular canons of the Holy Sepulchre (EOHSJ) and Honorary Canons of the Holy Sepulchre of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem are entitled to identical insignia, i.e. white mozetta with red Jerusalem cross and choir dress including the black cassock with magenta piping and magenta fascia.[57]

Saints and beatified members

Awards and distinctions

Reserved to members, the

grand prior of the order, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem.[60]

Awards of Special Distinction
Pilgrim Shell
Palm of Jerusalem of Bronze
Palm of Jerusalem of Silver
Palm of Jerusalem of Gold

Since 1949, the Cross of Merit of the Order may also be conferred on meritorious non-members of the order, for example non-Catholics.[61] The original five classes were reduced to three in 1977.[61] Obtaining the Cross of Merit does not imply membership of the Order.[61]

Decorations of Merit
Cross of Merit
Cross of Merit with Silver Star
Cross of Merit with Gold Star

Although it shares the same symbol, the Jerusalem Pilgrim's Cross is not a decoration of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Pope Leo XIII created the award in 1901 but the Franciscan custodian of the Holy Land presents it to certain pilgrims in the name of the pope.[62]

Notes

  1. orders of chivalry is usually the wife of a member although there are exceptions: for example female members of the British Order of the Garter
    may be called either "Lady (Royal and/or Supernumerary) Companion" (but not simply "Lady") or "Knight (Royal and/or Supernumerary) Companion". There is no provision in the constitution to use other titles in English, such as "sir", for knights although this is occasionally used. In some English-speaking lieutenancies, and consistent with the constitution and diplomatic practice of using French, a knight is addressed as chevalier, abbreviated Chev. The Diploma of Investiture of the Order, written in Latin, uses the term "Equitem" and the corresponding certificate for the Pilgrim Shell uses the Latin title "Dominum".
