  Order of the Holy Spirit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Order of the Holy Spirit, also known as the Order of the Knights of the Holy Spirit, (French: L'Ordre du Saint Espirt; L'Ordre des Chevaliers du Saint Esprit) was an Order of Chivalry under the French Monarchy.
During the French Revolution the Order of the Holy Spirit was officially abolished by the French government along with all other chivalric orders from the Ancien Regime, although the exiled Louis XVIII continued to acknowledge it.
The symbol of the order is known as the Cross of the Holy Spirit.

 THE ORDER OF SAINT MICHAEL (FRANCE)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The oldest French Royal Order, Saint Michael was later displaced as the highest honor accorded by the Kings of France following the foundation of the Order of the Holy Spirit.
The Order's foundation was proclaimed at a tournament given in honor of the king's younger brother, the Duke of Berry, whom he was hoping to detach from the Burgundian camp, on 1 August 1469.
However, from the reign of Louis XIII no more peers of France were given the Order (with one exception, [11] and except by virtue of having received the Holy Spirit) and from the foundation of the Order of Saint Louis in 1693 it ceased to be awarded for military service.

 10. The Holy Spirit Regenerating
The absolute necessity for the regenerating operation of the Holy Spirit in order for a sinner’s being converted to God lies in his being totally depraved.
In regeneration the Spirit imparts a real, new, and immortal life; a life not such as that which was inherited from the first Adam, who was "a living soul," but such as is derived from the last Adam, who is "a quickening Spirit" (1 Cor.

The enormous prestige which the Dukes of Burgundy had attained with their Order of the Golden Fleece cannot have escaped the notice of the king, and indeed it seems very likely that the new royal Order was intended to counterbalance the Burgundian institution.
However, from the reign of Louis XIII no more peers of France were given the Order (with one exception, and except by virtue of having received the Holy Spirit) and from the foundation of the Order of Saint Louis in 1693 it ceased to be awarded for military service.
The Order is formally recognised by the Italian State that since 1963 authorises the Italian citizens to confer upon themselves the decorations of the Order in compliance with art.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Holy Ghost
He is essentially the Spirit of truth (John 14:16-17; 15:26), Whose office it is to strengthen faith (Acts 6:5), to bestow wisdom (Acts 6:3), to give testimony of Christ, that is to say, to confirm His teaching inwardly (John 15:26), and to teach the Apostles the full meaning of it (John 14:26; 16:13).
Considered with regard to the Church, the same Spirit is truth, grace, a pledge of immortality, a principle of union with God; intimately united to the Church, He gives the sacraments their efficacy and virtue (III, xvii, 2, xxiv, 1; IV, xxxiii, 7; V, viii, 1).
This impenitence is against the Holy Ghost, in the sense that it frustrates and is absolutely opposed to the remission of sins, and this remission is appropriated to the Holy Ghost, the mutual love of the Father and the Son.

The Order of the Garter was founded by Edward III in the 1340s and consists of the sovereign and 25 Knights of the Garter (KGs).
The great prestige of the Order is due in large measure to its exclusiveness; no one may be elected KG unless the death or degradation of an incumbent creates a vacancy.
In contrast, the French Order of St. Michael was debased in the mid sixteenth century by being awarded to all and sundry, and so in 1578 Henry III created the Order of the Holy Spirit, limited to one hundred knights.
