This five-fold cross has for centuries been a symbol of the holy city of Jerusalem, where the Order arose and which is still its spiritual home. It consists of a large central cross with laterally extended tips, with a similar smaller cross in each quarter of the large cross. It is traditionally said to symbolize the five most precious wounds of Christ. The Jerusalem cross, as used in the insignia of Members of the Order, is faced in red enamel and bordered in gold. In Knights' insignia the cross is surmounted by a military trophy (Men's), whose use was decreed by Pope Saint Pius X, then Grand Master of the Order, to distinguish Knights' insignia from Ladies'. Ladies were first admitted to the Order by his predecessor, Pope Leo XIII, and in the case of the Ladies' insignia, the cross is surmounted by a knotted bow in gold. The full insignia of the Order are normally worn with formal dress when other decorations are worn. The insignia are worn suspended from black silk moire ribbons of various widths.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46110420664597,"sku":"EU5252","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/img_2285_copy_f436ac20-6ef4-4fb7-bcfd-9572a2d854e1.jpg?v=1692846742"},{"product_id":"the-equestrian-order-of-the-holy-sepulchre-of-jerusalem-by-kretly-of-paris-eu7479","title":"The Equestrian Order Of The Holy Sepulchre Of Jerusalem By Kretly Of Paris","description":"The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem by Kretly of Paris - Breast Star finely made by Kretly of Paris in silver with a gold centre and enamels, hallmarked on centre pin, measuring 83mm, points of star are bent from a drop, otherwise extremely fine.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46112020070677,"sku":"EU7479","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/the_equestrian_o_544e98856bfc0.jpg?v=1692850810"},{"product_id":"a-order-of-the-holy-sepulchre-officers-crossa-order-of-the-holy-sepulchre-officers-cross-eu9557","title":"A Order Of The Holy Sepulchre; Officers Crossa Order Of The Holy Sepulchre; Officers Cross","description":"A Order of the Holy Sepulchre; Officers Cross - With trophy of arms suspension, 37mmx83mm, good quality, unmarked, circa 1935, very fine.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46113806352661,"sku":"EU9557","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/img_04_7d202688-3238-44bf-90ab-5f094e328e7b.jpg?v=1692853431"},{"product_id":"a-order-of-the-holy-sepulchre-of-the-vatican-grand-cross-breast-star-eu10739","title":"A Order Of The Holy Sepulchre Of The Vatican; Grand Cross Breast Star","description":"Multi-piece construction, silver gilt with red, white and green enamels, unmarked, 88.3 mm x 88.8 mm, vertical pinback, intact enamels, scattered gilt wear evident at the open end of the wreath, near extremely fine.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46117777801493,"sku":"EU10739","price":780.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/s_572.jpg?v=1692857979"},{"product_id":"an-order-of-the-holy-sepulchre-breast-star-by-godet-berlin-eu12244","title":"An Order Of The Holy Sepulchre; Breast Star By Godet, Berlin,","description":"Of high quality typical to this maker, with detailed silver work and fine red, green, and white enamel work, measuring 91mm and extremely fine overall.\n","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46118694093077,"sku":"EU12244","price":940.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/d_0996.jpg?v=1692863553"},{"product_id":"vatican-an-order-of-the-holy-sepulchre-of-jerusalem-commander-for-gentlemen-military-division-type-iii-1907-1967-eu14519","title":"Vatican.

Pope Pius IX restructured the Order and from 1847 to 1867 encouraged its growth worldwide. In 1868, he defined the classes of the Order and in 1888 Pope Leo XIII authorized the admission of ladies to the Order. In 1949, Pope Pius XII again restructured the Order and in 1977 a new constitution was promulgated.

It continues to be awarded as a modern Order, and may be conferred upon moral and charitable Christians who have worked to protect Jerusalem, are active members of the Catholic Church, and are loyal to the Pope. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis offering is a part of the \"Dr. Albert Goodwin Collection\", a preeminent assemblage of world Orders, Medals, and Decorations composed solely by Dr.Goodwin between 1946-1967.
