The Ordem Militar de Cristo (Military Order of Christ), the full name of which is the Military Order of Our Knights of Lord Jesus Christ, is a Portuguese honorific Order which takes its name from the extinct Order of Christ (1834), which is given for distinguished service in the performance of functions in sovereign positions or public administration, and for the judiciary and diplomacy, which is seen as being particularly distinguished.
The Order of Christ Military consists of five levels:
Grand Cross (GCC)
Grand Officer (GOC)
Commander (ComC)
Officer (OC)
Knight (CvC) / Dame (DmC)
Like other Portuguese Orders, the title of Honorary Member (MHC, going by its Portuguese acronym for Membro-Honorário) can also be bestowed on institutions and locations.
