INVESTITURE

Men and women whose Postulant Petitions have been approved by the Grand Prior are formally welcomed as Knights (KStG) and Dames (DStG) respectively during the elaborate and meaningful Investiture Ceremony, usually held annually in one of the Priory locations. While public, the ceremony is conducted with significant pageantry in a consecrated place and follows the ancient tradition of being CLOAKED with the Knight’s Fighting Habit, DUBBED on the shoulders with the Sword of Justice, SPURRED with the Spur of Faith and presented with the Consecrated Insignia of The Order of St. George.
