Pax_et bonum Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Her name is Sr. Faustina if you care to know. I think that is her dust mopping too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 ^ Yes I think that is her mopping as well. The link says she's in her 20's. I do love seeing pictures of young religious, I am always so inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newly professed sister is Sister Elizabeth, I believe the two novices are Sister Marie Therese and Sister Mary Thomas if I remember correctly.

If I am correct, I can't quite tell, that is Sister Mary David, the Novice Mistress. [/quote] Why are Benedictine habits so gorgeous? I love nuns!!!

[/quote] The habits shown here lately, while beautiful in their own right, have all looked to be the same, plain ol' prototypical Benedictine style habits . . . glad to see the bright fuchsia cords though!

marigold Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Makes me feel claustrophobic just looking at it. And half my food ends up on my clothes anyway, so I'm glad what I'm looking at is a lifetime of black on black EDIT: Chenoweth!!

Kayte Postle Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Those habits look sooooo heavy! That is one intense habit.. Edited February 19, 2012 by Kayte Postle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marigold Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Woop woop! Yeah they're pretty intense - that's the tipper-toppermost level of nun, hardly ANYONE gets to it. That photo is a rarity in itself, seeing so many Great Schema nuns together. The 'standard' nun is what the other nun in the picture is wearing. (Plus she's got a cross because she's an Abbess.) My nuns' church habits are made from some lovely light material, it's almost translucent and very c.ool. Their mantles are made of wool but apart from that the whole lot doesn't look too heavy. Yeah seriously though even I am impressed by those Great Schemas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see the machine they had to use to flute them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
