Ecclesiastical decoration
An ecclesiastical decoration is an order or a decoration conferred by a head of a church.
Catholic ecclesiastical decorations
- Patriarchal Order of the Holy Cross of Jerusalem of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church
- Order of Saint Ignatius of Antioch of the Syriac Catholic Church
Both are recognised as legitimate ecclesiastical decorations by the International Commission on Orders of Chivalry (2006):[1]
[T]he Commission accepts that these Ecclesiastical Decorations possess full validity as awards of merit or honours within the respective Churches which have instituted them.
