The Knights of the Cross with the Red Star or Military Order of the Crusaders of the Red Star (Czech: Križovnický rád rytíru s cervenou hvezdou; Latin: Ordo Militaris Crucigerorum cum Rubea Stella) is a religious order originating from Bohemia, devoted mainly to offering medical care. Throughout its history it was accustomed to the use of arms, a custom which was confirmed in 1292 by an ambassador of Pope Nicholas IV. The grand master is still invested with a sword at his induction into office, and the congregation has been recognized as a military order by Popes Clement X and Innocent XII, as well as by several Holy Roman Emperors.
Early Gothic Church of All Saints (Kostel Všech Svatých), built in the 13th century by the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star, is the most interesting building in the Prague suburb district Slivenec.
