OnlySunshine Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I have seen pictures online of some very unusual looking habits from times past and orders that are no longer around. I thought it would be fun to post pictures of the most interesting and unusual looking ones that we can find.

reminiscere Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I believe they were the Religious of the Sacred Heart.

[img]http://www.thecanteen.com/saint1.jpg[/img] [/quote] I can definitely see why several orders changed their habits from the ones they used to have. If I had to wear something like these bonnets, I'd feel like a horse with blinders on. I wonder if you get claustrophobic until you get used to it. LOL!

Vincent Vega Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 [quote name='MargaretTeresa' timestamp='1302662102' post='2228036'] The Sisters of Charity's....headpieces...hats....veils? remind me of seagulls... [/quote] They were called Coronets. They dropped them in 196...3?4? It's a shame. I think they were beautiful. There's a very famous photograph taken at a Vincentian hospital in the area (one that I have a pretty close personal connection to) centered around a sister with a coronet on. I can't find the photo online, but there's a short video with it in it here: http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2011-02-12/story/picture-compassion-and-grace-frozen-time-st-vincents-medical-center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing! I was at one point thinking of being a Daughter of Charity, but don't feel called there any longer after lots of prayer at contemplation. Wonderful women though!
