The Order of the Dove (Latin: Ordo Columba) is a Sanctarian order of merit founded on 07 June 1858 by Simon IV, Patriarch of the Church of Sanctaria in celebration of the Treaty of Nicene, which ended decades of civil unrest in Galvium, a constituent state of the Papal States of Sanctaria.
It is named in honour of the dove, the traditional symbol of peace.
Appointees to the Order of the Dove are traditionally men and women, such as diplomats, who render important or loyal service in relation to foreign affairs; it may also be conferred for extraordinary or important non-military service in a foreign country.
