The Order of St. Gregory the Great (Order of St. Gregory the Great for short; Latin Ordo Sancti Gregorii Magni), officially Ordine Equestre Pontificio di San Gregorio Magno (Papal Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great), is the fourth highest order for services to the Roman Catholic Church Church. It is awarded indirectly by the Pope.
Story
The Order of Gregory, founded on September 1, 1831 by Pope Gregory XVI. endowed with the breve “Quod summis quibusque” is one of the highest honors that the Pope bestows on laypeople. As early as 1834 it was generally awarded as an order of knighthood “for zeal in the defense of the Catholic religion”. It was named after Pope Gregory I, who bore the honorary title “the Great” (pope from 590 to 604). During his pontificate he succeeded in creating the foundations for the later Papal States through political skill and good administration of church property. Pope John Paul II renewed the order on June 2, 1993; Since then, the order has also been awarded to women.
Order classes
The order is divided into two divisions, civil and military, with the following classes:
• Grand Cross Knight (Cavaliere di Gran Croce) and Grand Cross Lady (Dama di Gran Croce)
• Commander with Star (Commendatore con Placca) and Commander Lady with Star (Dama di Commenda con Placca)
• Commander (Commendatore)
• Knight (Cavaliere) and Dame (Dama)
The holders of the Order of Gregory do not enjoy any special privileges.
Order decoration
The insignia shows the image of Gregory the Great with a dove on an eight-pointed, gold, red-enameled cross on the front of the blue central shield. On the back there is the inscription PRO DEO ET PRINCIPE and GREGORIUS XVI in the middle of a golden circle. P.M. ANNO 1.
The medal is worn on a red ribbon bordered in yellow. The uniform consists of a dark green open-front tailcoat with rich silver embroidery, collar and cuffs of the same color with silver embroidery, dark green trousers with silver stripes, bicorn hat and sword.
