Riccardo Pace has accepted the office of Grand Master and President of the Order of the Knights and Dames of the Holy Grail, the international Christian order of chivalry devoted to the Holy Chalice venerated in Valencia.

The Order has been constituted in collaboration with the International Association of the Camino del Santo Grial, under the patronage of its President, Ana María Mafé García. Its heavenly Patron is Saint Lawrence, deacon and martyr, who according to tradition sent the cup of the Last Supper from Rome to Aragon.

As Grand Master, Riccardo Pace directs the life of the Order, presides over the Council of Honour, appoints the Ambassadors of the Order by magistral decree and grants admission to the Order. Each year he leads the pilgrimage of the Order along the Camino del Santo Grial.

In his first message the Grand Master recalled the principles of the Manifesto of the Holy Grail: the City of God as a fellowship without borders, and the three pillars of discipline, faith and pilgrimage. Read the message of the Grand Master.
