Award Recipients

As an Order and as a Lieutenancy we recognize members who instigate special activities above and beyond the expectations of all members.

The Archangel Award

As members of the Order, we are all called to support and accompany our brothers, and sisters in the Holy Land. This entails a number of obligations such as attending annual meetings and retreats, making an annual contribution, and praying for the Holy Land. Many of our members also serve on the council. These efforts and service are very valuable and much appreciated. 

There are, however, a few members who instigate special activities above and beyond our expectations of all members of those who have accepted the duties of an office. These members create something new, make an extraordinary contribution to our work, or move the Lieutenancy forward in a special way. To acknowledge and thank them, a new Lieutenancy recognition was established on 2016, The Archangel Award.

The Palm Award

The Palm of Jerusalem is an award of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. The Palm of Jerusalem, of gold, silver or bronze, may be conferred by the Cardinal Grand Master of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre to a person of flawless moral conduct, especially meritorious on behalf of the order or the Holy Land. In special cases, the order can be conferred by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem as Patriarch Grand Prior of the order, to a person with established residence in the Holy Land, and in exceptional cases, to persons in transit there.

The Palm of the order bears on its face the Jerusalem cross of Godfrey of Bouillon on a shield of gold, silver or bronze, surmounted by the motto “Deus lo vult”. The entirety is surrounded by two palms in elliptic form, one with olive branches, the other with branches of laurel, enameled in green. On the side is engraved the inscription: “Palma Equestris Ordinis Sancti Sepulcri Hierosolymitani”.
