Product Information
Specification
VATICAN: Commander's Cross in the Civil 
Division of the Equestrian Order of the Holy 
Sepulcher of Jerusalem - rare example for 
Ladies.
The Order originates from the era of the 1st 
Crusade and the knights who protected the 
Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem but it was re-
instituted in its current form in 1847 (Papacy 
of Pope Pius IX). 
The Order is primarily honorific. 
Its principal mission is to reinforce the 
practice of Christian life by its members, to 
sustain and assist the religious, spiritual, 
charitable and social works of the Catholic 
Church as well as to conserve and propagate 
the faith and the rights of the Catholic Church 
in the Holy Lands. 
As it is a Papal honor, the aspirant members 
must be practicing Catholics, recommended 
by their local bishop, supported by several 
members of the Order and are required to 
make a generous donation as well as an 
annual financial offering for works undertaken 
in the Holy Land. 
Since 1888 the Civil Division of the Order is 
also open to women. 
This is a luxurious (enameled on both sides) 
post WW1 example, most likely of the 1930s. 
A hard to find award.
