Knighting ceremony (Order of the Lethos Jedi)

The Knighting ceremony was the ceremony in which a Jedi Padawan or apprentice was made into a full Jedi Knight. An ancient ritual, it was presided over by members of the Lethos High Council or of the other three Councils and led by the Grand Master. This ceremony could be repeated for a Knight who achieved the rank of Master.

Order of the Lethos Jedi
The Knighting ceremony was an ancient ritual dating back to the beginnings of the Order's history and each Padawan was responsible for preparing themselves and reviewing their role in the ancient rite. Only the High Council could promote an apprentice to the rank of Knight. After passing the Trials of Knighthood, the student was assigned a date that the ceremony was set to take place on. The day before the ceremony the Padawan was required to ascend to the heart of the Serenity Spire where they were to meditate within the preparation chamber located there. While typically alone, it wasn't unheard of for several Padawans to meet there at once; though socializing was frowned upon as each apprentice was supposed to be searching for their future path.

The following day, the Padawan was summoned to the next level of the Tower: the Hall of Knighthood. Entering into the darkened chamber, the Padawan would kneel in the center of the room as the Masters present ignited their lightsaber in a ring around the student. Led by the Grand Master of the Order, the other Masters were typically those who sat on the High Council and other prominent Jedi who helped in the apprentice's journey. If the High Council was unavailable, members of the other three Jedi Councils could step in to complete the ring. Reciting the ancient passages used in the traditional ceremony, the Grand Master would lower their lightsaber to just above each of the Padawan's shoulders and, for those of hair-growing species, sever the braid that hung behind the ear of the newly appointed Knight. The Jedi was then able to collect the braid and depart the chamber in silence, the ritual completed.

In addition to raising a Padawan to Knighthood, the Council also brought Knights to the Hall to grant them the rank of Master. To achieve this rank, a Knight could opt to take a modified version of the Trials, or successfully train a Padawan to Knighthood themselves.

Formal passages of the knighting ceremony
At each formal ceremony, the Grand Master recited the same ancient words when knighting each Padawan. The formal opening of the ceremony welcomed the participating Masters, and focused their minds on why they were there.[1]
 * "We are all Jedi. The Force speaks through us. Through our actions, the Force proclaims itself and what is real. Today we are here to acknowledge what the Force has proclaimed."

With that said, the Grand Master would call the Padawan by name and bring their lightsaber down above each of the kneeling student's shoulders.
 * "By the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, I dub thee Jedi, Knight of the Triumvirate."

With the ceremony complete, the Knight would take up their lightsaber and exit the chamber in silence, signaling the end of the ritual.
