The Order of Saint John in Sweden (Swedish: (S:t) Johanniterorden i Sverige [ˈsǎŋktʝʊhanˈîːterˌoːɖɛnˈiːˈsvæ̌rʝɛ] )[a] is a Protestant chivalric order. It is a member of the Alliance of the Orders of Saint John of Jerusalem.
It was founded in 1920 in Stockholm, Sweden, as an affiliate of the German Bailiwick of Brandenburg.[1] In November 1946, it was granted a Royal Charter by King Gustaf V as the Johanniterorden i Sverige. King Carl XVI Gustaf is the current High Patron, and Queen Silvia is the First Honorary Member of the Order.[2]
Medals, honors, and other ceremonial decorations from the Order are officially open to all citizens; however, they are currently only awarded to members of the House of Nobility, making it a de facto noble order.
