The Holy Order of The Cross is a Westarctican Order of Chivalry that recognizes exceptional Christian achievement. Citizens of Westarctica and foreigners who exemplify Christian values may receive the honor in all three of its classes. The order is bestowed irrespective of denominations of Christianity and has been awarded to Protestants and Catholics. It is the only Westarctican order that may be bestowed posthumously as a symbol of the eternal nature of the soul and the faith of the holder continuing in the afterlife.
