Order of Saint Sylvester

The Order currently has three classes. In order of seniority they are:

1. Knight / Dame Grand Cross (GCSS) – wears a large cross suspended from a broad ribbon (sash) over the right shoulder across the breast to the left hip, along with the breast star
2. Knight Commander – wears a smaller cross suspended by the ribbon of the Order encircling the neck. Dame Commander wears the same cross suspended from a bow on the left breast. This class is divided into two categories: Knight / Dame Commander with Star (KC*SS / DC*SS) – wears the star of the Order on the lower left breast. Knight / Dame Commander (KCSS / DCSS) – does not wear the star
3. Knight / Dame (KSS / DSS) – wears the smallest cross on a ribbon attached to the left breast of the tunic.
