Ribbon Bar of the Order

The Imperial Order of Our Lord Jesus Christ, or simply the Order of Christ, is an order of chivalry continued by King Álvaro II of Kongo in 1607 after the Portuguese brought the Order of Christ to the Kingdom of Kongo.[1][2] Álvaro I was given permission by the King of Portugal to grant knighthoods for the Order of Christ and his successors, approved by the Holy See, continued to serve as the fons honorum for the Order of Christ.[3][4][5]

The Soba (Chief) is a member of the order in 1965 wearing the mantle of the Order of Christ (Kongo).

Historically, those who were awarded a knighthood in the Order of Christ wore mantles with an embroidered cross.[6] The Order of Christ became a central part of the military life of the Kingdom of Kongo, including many members of the aristocracy.[3][7] A number of local rulers underwent investiture into the Order of Christ. The Order of Christ, as with the Order of Saint James of the Sword, continues to be awarded ecumenically by the Imperial House of Kongo.[8]
