About The Cross

The emblem of the Order is a silver Greek Cross Fleury inscribed, Magnanimiter Crucem Sustine,

the watchword of the Order,

meaning

"With heart, mind and spirit uphold and bear the cross."

 

At the base of the cross are letters "FHS", initials for the Motto of the Order: "For His Sake". The cross is customarily worn on the left side over the heart, or it may be worn on a silver chain around the neck, but it is never to be worn simply as an ornament. Only a member in good standing may wear the cross of the Order, which remains the property of the Order. When a member dies it may be buried with her; otherwise it must be returned to our National Office.
