faithcecelia Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If I could choose a community based on colour alone, I would definately choose one with a pink habit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Actually, I would like a grey and pink habit with a white wimple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Grey and blue with a dove grey veil.......my choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithcecelia Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I could wish for a veil in no other colour than black (eventually). I think its symbolism of dying to the world is so meaningful that, for me, no colour (even pink!) could beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm actually developing a real fondness for the traditional Benedictine habit of black and white - so I was happy to see that Rosalind Moss ended up in one of those too! When she and I went shopping for habit fabric, we debated forever but when I held the black up to me, I just said, this is so 'nun' and she agreed and bought the black material. Now she finally has occasion to use it! I love all the different colours of course, but there is just something so nun about the good old b&w of the 'penguins'!

Mary's Margaret Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 GraceUK The Servants of St. Agatha and Venerable Zelie Martin wear a white tunic and pink scapular and veil. Their apostolate is to care for those with breast cancer and their families. I couldn't find much about them, but what is online sounds like they're a new community. Hope this helps.

HopefulBride Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Any habit with Marian blue is a win for me I also don't mind the Dominican habit. There is something about it. I guess that's part of the Dominication. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) The Holy Spirit Adoration Sisters wear pink because it is a lighter (feminine) color of the traditional color of the Holy Spirit, red. They said pink is also a color of joy, and aarrr aarrr their founder said they couldn't adore the Blessed Sacrament wearin' black or some other morose color.
