Order of Vasa
It is awarded to Swedish citizens for service to state and society especially in the fields of agriculture, mining and commerce.Membership was unrestricted by birth or education, as opposed to the other orders which were reserved for nobility, military personnel or the learned professions.The Order had five classes: Before 2023, clergymen and women were not made knights; instead, they were made Ledamot av andliga ståndet ("Member of the Cloth") and Ledamot ("Member"), respectively.The new ceremony is held in the White Sea Hall of the Stockholm Palace, decorated with the banners and insignia of the royal orders.After the King and Queen have been announced by the Herald of the Royal Orders, by tapping his staff on the floor twice, and have made their entrance to the Seraphim March, the Chancellor of the Royal Orders makes an introductory speech and the King himself delivers a speech.
