This form is used because the Swedish word <i>orden</i> is an old plural form which indicates that a knight has to be a Commander Grand Cross or Commander of at least one of the other Swedish Orders. Foreign Knights are for the greater part Knights of the Order of the Seraphim. A Knight of the Order may be styled "Herr" + surname, which used to be the formal style for Swedish secular Knights (untitled high-ranking noblemen) appointed by the Swedish King, a practice that ceased in the 17th century. </p><p>When originally instituted the knights of the Order were required to supervise the major hospitals and mental asylums in Sweden, and in particular, the <a href="/wiki/Serafimerlasarettet" title="Serafimerlasarettet">Seraphim Hospital</a>, which was a major hospital in <a href="/wiki/Stockholm" title="Stockholm">Stockholm</a> until it was closed in 1980. This requirement would die out as boards of physicians and other professionals made such supervision by the Knights of the Seraphim anachronistic during the course of the 19th century. </p><p>As part of the reorganization of Swedish orders in 1975, appointments of Swedish citizens to the various orders ceased and conferrals were restricted to foreigners (the last non-royal Swedish holder was <a href="/wiki/Sten_Rudholm" title="Sten Rudholm">Sten Rudholm</a>). Likewise, the Order of the Seraphim was restricted to foreign <a href="/wiki/Head_of_state" title="Head of state">heads of state</a> and equivalents. In 1995, the law was revised and conferrals upon members of the royal family were allowed. On 20 December 2022, the Swedish Government published a new regulation that repealed the 1974 regulation, and once again opened the Royal Orders to Swedish citizens again, which came into effect from 1 February 2023.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Order_of_the_Seraphim&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Crusading_Order">Crusading Order</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Order_of_the_Seraphim&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Crusading Order"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the Middle Ages, an order was founded, <a href="/wiki/Knights_of_the_Name_of_Jesus" class="mw-redirect" title="Knights of the Name of Jesus">Knights of the Name of Jesus</a>, who was also known as the Seraphim. Although some sources trace it back to 1280,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> there is more compelling evidence that it was created around the 1330s.<sup id="cite_ref-newa_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newa-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It may have also been active in Norway.

These chains did not indicate the initiation into an order of chivalry as this is usually understood, since the bestowal of a chain of a particular design only occurred at a particular coronation and was not repeated at any other coronations or royal event. The description of some of these chains from the some of pre-Vasa coronations states that they consisted of alternating link of seraphim heads and patriarchal crosses, thus perhaps creating the later impression that there had been an earlier order of the Seraphim of which the 1748 order was seen as a revival. It seems reasonable to assume, at very least, that the accounts of these earlier knightly collars influenced the choice of design for the collar of the 1748 order. </p><p>This medieval custom survived into the period of the Vasa dynasty as well, for <a href="/wiki/Eric_XIV" class="mw-redirect" title="Eric XIV">Eric XIV</a> is known to have bestowed the Order of the Saviour at his coronation in 1561. Similarly, John III had bestowed the Order of the Lamb of God (Agnus Dei) in 1569. It is noteworthy that a contemporary representation of this order shows a collar of alternating red-enameled seraphim heads and gold patriarchal crosses from which hangs as pendant an oval badge enameled blue and bearing the Greek letters of the <a href="/wiki/Christogram" title="Christogram">Christogram</a> IHS (the initials of the name of Jesus in Greek) with a cross above and the three nails of the Passion below between the three crowns of the Swedish royal arms—the same as the central medallion of the latter Order of the Seraphim.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Charles IX bestowed the Royal Order of Jehova or <a href="/wiki/Jehova_Order" class="mw-redirect" title="Jehova Order">Jehova Order</a> at his coronation in 1606—perhaps as Calvinist alternative or reaction to the Catholic devotion to the Name of Jesus implied in his brother's coronation order. Charles X Gustav's Order of the Name of Jesus took the form of a similar circular medallion bearing the letters IHS in diamonds surrounded by a border of diamonds in the center of a cross formed of four enameled Vasa sheaves and hanging from a pink ribbon worn around the neck, of which one example survives in the collections of the Royal Armory.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Christina,_Queen_of_Sweden" title="Christina, Queen of Sweden">Queen Christina</a> founded an <a href="/wiki/Order_of_Amarante" title="Order of Amarante">Order of the Amaranth</a>, although apparently not at her coronation, but it also did not survive her reign. Because of these previous orders the first set of statutes described the Order as "revived". </p><p>The French <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Holy_Spirit" title="Order of the Holy Spirit">Order of the Holy Spirit</a> may have inspired the idea of placing the earlier medallion of the Name of Jesus in the center of a white enameled Maltese cross with gold Seraphim heads between the arms of this cross guarding this medallion with their wings, just as the French order bore the white dove of the Holy Spirit surrounded by green flames on similar white Maltese cross. Also like the French royal orders of chivalry the breast stars of the Swedish orders similarly took the form of silver crosses. </p><p>Associated with the Order was the <a href="/wiki/Seraphim_Medal" title="Seraphim Medal">Seraphim Medal</a> awarded to people who made significant contributions to Swedish charities,<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHieronymussenLundø1968104_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHieronymussenLundø1968104-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> especially to the hospitals and mental asylums patronized by the Order. This medal consisted a gold coin-like representation of the bust of the Order's founder, King Frederick I, beneath a royal crown hanging by eight small chains from a suspension bar ornamented with a design of <a href="/wiki/Acanthus_(ornament)" title="Acanthus (ornament)">acanthus</a> leaves. </p><p>The Order of the Seraphim is sometimes listed as a dynastic order, but its status is actually more complex. The Order of the Seraphim has a semi-dynastic or state-royal character.

After the hymn, "<a href="/wiki/Come,_Holy_Spirit" title="Come, Holy Spirit">Come, Holy Spirit</a>", was chanted, the chief preacher of the Court briefly addressed those assembled on the duties of the subjects towards God, the King and the country. The Chancellor, who stood to the left of the sovereign, then explained in a few words the object of the order, the honour attached to it, and the reasons which had induced His Majesty to elect the new Knight. The two sponsors, thereupon, conduct the postulant before the King, where he kneels down, and replies affirmatively, with a simple "Yes," to all the following questions: </p><p>Did he promise before God and the King: </p> <ol><li>To honour, defend and preserve the laws and statutes of the Order?</li> <li>To be ready to shed his blood for the Evangelical Lutheran religion and for the welfare of the country?</li> <li>To assist, by his courage, to sustain the ancient glory of the Swedish Name?</li> <li>To contribute, to the best of his power, to a life of peace and union amongst the Knights of the Order?</li> <li>To watch over the honours and privileges now granted to him?</li> <li>To do good to the poor and to protect widows and orphans?</li></ol> <p>On these questions being answered, the King handed the diploma to the Secretary from whom the Chancellor received the document and read it aloud to the assembly, after which the new Knight swore to defend with his life and property the Christian faith, to remain true to the King and the State, to protect the poor, widows and orphans, and to promote their welfare to the best of his power. The King then took from the Treasurer the chain of the Order, hung it round the neck of the new knight and, dubbed him with the coronation sword, saying: </p><p>"We, N., King of the Swedes, the Goths and the Wends, receive thee as our brave and honourable Swedish and Gothic Knight of our Order of the Seraphim. Be worthy of it," and embracing him amid the sound of drums and trumpets, he concluded with the words: "May the Lord protect thee!" The new Knight, then thanked His Majesty, kissed his hand, and embraced all his new colleagues, whereupon each of them repeated the words: "May the Lord protect thee!" With this the ceremony concluded. </p><p>The practice of dubbing ceased in 1902. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Coats_of_arms">Coats of arms</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Order_of_the_Seraphim&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Coats of arms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><span><video id="mwe_player_0" poster="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm/240px-seek%3D3-Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm.jpg" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="240" height="180" data-durationhint="309" data-mwtitle="Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons" resource="/wiki/File:Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm.480p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="480p.vp9.webm" data-width="640" data-height="480" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm.720p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="720p.vp9.webm" data-width="960" data-height="720" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm.1080p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="1080p.vp9.webm" data-width="1440" data-height="1080" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"" data-width="1440" data-height="1080" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm.144p.mjpeg.mov" type="video/quicktime" data-transcodekey="144p.mjpeg.mov" data-width="192" data-height="144" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm.240p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="240p.vp9.webm" data-width="320" data-height="240" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm.360p.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"" data-transcodekey="360p.webm" data-width="480" data-height="360" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/3/3c/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm/Serafimerringningen_11_februari_2015.webm.360p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="360p.vp9.webm" data-width="480" data-height="360" /></video></span><figcaption><i>Serafimerringningen</i> 11 February 2015 for <a href="/wiki/Richard_von_Weizs%C3%A4cker" title="Richard von Weizsäcker">Richard von Weizsäcker</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Each new knight or member has their <a href="/wiki/Coat_of_arms" title="Coat of arms">coat of arms</a>, surrounded with the collar or sash of the order, painted on a copper plate.
