The '''Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great''' ({{langx|la|Ordo Sancti Gregorii Magni}}; {{langx|it|Ordine di San Gregorio Magno}}) was established on 1 September 1831, by [[Pope Gregory XVI]], seven months after his election as Pope.<ref name="BegniGrey1914">{{cite book|last1=Begni|first1=Ernesto|last2=Grey|first2=James C.|last3=Kennedy|first3=Thomas J.|title=The Vatican: Its History, Its Treasures|url=https://archive.org/details/cu31924020491084|access-date=31 August 2016|year=1914|publisher=Letters and Arts Publishing Company|page=[https://archive.org/details/cu31924020491084/page/n540 515]}}</ref>
The order is one of the five [[Papal order of knighthood|orders of knighthood of the Holy See]]. The honor is bestowed upon [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] men and women (and certain notable non-Catholics)<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-jan-03-me-4508-story.html |title=Pope Bestows Knighthood on 64 Prominent L.A. Catholics |newspaper=LA Times |last=Dart |first=John |date=1998-01-03 |access-date=2018-04-25}}</ref> in recognition of their personal service to the [[Holy See]] and to the Catholic Church, through their unusual labors, their support of the Holy See, and the examples they set in their communities and their countries.
==History and appointment==
{{See also|St. Gregory the Great}}
The inaugural brief states, in part, that "gentlemen of proven loyalty to the Holy See who, by reason of their nobility of birth and the renown of their deeds or the degree of their munificence, are deemed worthy to be honored by a public expression of esteem on the part of the Holy See". The end of the brief states that they must progressively maintain, by continued meritorious deed, the reputation and trust they had already inspired, and prove themselves worthy of the honor that had been conferred on them, by unswerving fidelity to God and to the sovereign Pontiff.<ref>{{cite web |title= The Pontifical Order of Saint Gregory the Great |url= http://www.papalknights.org.uk/order-gregory.html |work= Papalknights.org.uk |publisher= Association of Papal Orders in Great Britain of Pius IX, Saint Gregory and Saint Sylvester |access-date= 2 October 2010 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101226063640/http://www.papalknights.org.uk/order-gregory.html |archive-date= 26 December 2010 }}</ref>
The awarding of the Order of St. Gregory the Great presents no particular obligations on the recipients toward the Catholic Church – except for the general ones stated above.
==Insignia==
[[File:Order of Saint Gregory the Great knight military division badge (Vatican) - Tallinn Museum  of Orders.jpg|thumb|right|Knight's badge in the military division]]
An eight-pointed [[cross]], the insignia of the order, bears a representation of [[Pope Gregory I|St. Gregory]] on the obverse and on the reverse the motto {{lang|la|Pro Deo et Principe}} ("For God and Ruler"). The cross is suspended from a red and gold ribbon. In [[ecclesiastical heraldry]], laymen awarded the high rank of Grand Cross can display a red and gold ribbon surrounding the shield in their personal [[coats of arms]], but the recipients of the lower ranks place an appropriate ribbon below the shield.<ref>{{cite book | last=Noonan | first=James-Charles Jr. | title=The Church Visible: The Ceremonial Life and Protocol of the Roman Catholic Church | year=1996 | publisher=Viking | isbn=0-670-86745-4 | page=[https://archive.org/details/churchvisiblecer0000noon/page/196 196] | url-access=registration | url=https://archive.org/details/churchvisiblecer0000noon/page/196 }}</ref> The difference between the civilian and military insignia is that the former group wears the cross hanging from a green crown of [[laurel wreath|laurel]], whereas the latter group wears the cross hanging from a trophy of arms.<ref>{{cite book|last=MacErlean|first=Andrew Alphonsus|title=The Catholic Encyclopedia: An International Work of Reference on the Constitution, Doctrine, Discipline, and History of the Catholic Church, Volume 4|date=1912|publisher=Robert Appleton Co|pages=667{{endash}}668 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vrRAAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA667 }}</ref>
==Vestments and accoutrements==
The Order comprises four classes:
* ''Knight/Dame Grand Cross'' (GCSG)<ref>{{Cite web |title=Order of St. Gregory the Great |url=https://www.papalorders.ie/index.php/pontifical-booklet/different-orders/15-order-of-st-gregory-the-great |access-date=July 19, 2024 |website=Association of Papal Orders in Ireland}}</ref>
* ''Knight/Dame Commander with Star'' (KC*SG/DC*SG)
* ''Knight/Dame Commander'' (KCSG/DCSG)
* ''Knight/Dame'' (KSG/DSG)
A green uniform was later prescribed by [[Pope Pius IX]]. The uniform contains a black beaver-felt hat decorated with black silk ribbons, silver metallic twisted rope, buttons and black ostrich feathers. The jacket, made of green wool, is trimmed with silver metallic thread, and has a tail, nine yellow metal buttons in the front and three buttons on the cuffs and is lined with black satin. Finally, the costume contains suspenders, several yellow and red rosettes, white [[leather glove]]s, and a short sword with a handle made of mother of pearl with a medallion of the order at the end.
Knights Grand Cross wear a sash and a badge or star on the left side of the breast; Commanders wear a cross around the neck; and Knights wear a smaller cross on the left breast of the uniform:
