  ORDER of THE HOLY SPIRIT

  The downward pointed dove represents the "fallen ones"

  Prior to the creation of the Order of the Holy Spirit in 1578 by Henri III, the senior order of chivalry in France had been the Order of Saint Michael.

  This order had originally been created to rival the BurgundianOrder of the Golden Fleece, and to help ensure that leading French nobles remained loyal to the Crown.

  Its membership was initially restricted to a small number of powerful princes and nobles, but this increased dramatically due to the pressures of the Wars of Religion:

  All Knights of the order were also members of the Order of Saint Michael.

  Hmmm, I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that when my fiance and I are making out, we always try to leave a little, teeny, tiny, sliver of space between us for the Holy Spirt. Afterall, wherever 2 or more are gathered in his name......

  the dubs did ordered the extra holy spirit in the 1970's and 1980's thru public prayers to Jehovah. The Watchtower now has said it is not appropriate to ask for extra holy spirit anymore, maybe someone here can post an Wt article about it here.
