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":"an-order-of-st-gregory-officers-cross-eu6879","title":"An Order Of St. Gregory; Officer's Cross","description":"An Order of St. Gregory; Officer's Cross - Silver gilt and enamels, 40.8 mm x 57.7 mm inclusive of its wreath suspension, intact enamels, without ribbon, extremely fine.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46110420893973,"sku":"EU6879","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/img_03_6210907b-5ac0-4872-bca1-e75b5ab0559c.jpg?v=1692846746"},{"product_id":"order-of-st-sylvester-and-golden-spur-eu5303","title":"Order Of St. Sylvester And Golden Spur","description":"Order of St. Sylvester and Golden Spur - in Gold and enamels, 38mm(width) x 45mm(height), of exquisite manufacture, hand chiseled, with fine enamels, circa 1850-60, slight contact marks, in extremely fine condition.

In 1868, he defined the classes of the Order and in 1888 Pope Leo XIII authorized the admission of ladies to the Order.
