SOVEREIGN AND MILITARY Order of Santa Nicola (Order of Saint Nicholas)

The most ferocious warriors comprise the Order of Santa Nicola (Order of Saint Nicholas) (Order of Saint Nicholas). Though ferocious, they are also charitable and protective of the weak and vulnerable: this is the special commitment of the Knights of the Order. Following in the path of Saint Nicholas, the Knights are guardians of the young and vulnerable and extend their spirit of generosity to such persons even in their physical defense. The original Knights of the Order were also members of the Pontifical Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem (a juridical person under the law of the Holy See and the Vatican City State). .

The Order of Santa Nicola (Order of Saint Nicholas) is a great honor and must be bestowed upon each Knight or Lady of the Order by an Act of Parliament and personally approved by His Grace, the Duke.
