sistersintigo Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 [quote name='sistersintigo' timestamp='1309290379' post='2259837'] This order was founded by men, to start with. The men were approached by a women's community that: was located in France; had initially been founded in 611 AD; and had used the women's rule by Caesarius of Arles. They went by the name of the town "Pr--". The women wanted to try the men's supervision, and thus they became the first cloistered NUNS of this Order. What order is it? [/quote] okay, okaaaaay. You need another clue. Let me spell it out: country: France town: PREBAYON joined what order? around 1200 AD originally created for women in 611 AD, and had followed the rule of Caesarius of Arles. They are the first nuns in this order, founded by MEN roughly nine hundred years ago!!! No more clues! no, not Augustinian, not Norbertine....

sistersintigo Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 [quote name='praxedes' timestamp='1309286518' post='2259779'] This is a very sweet game. It would be very fun as a board game. I am going to print some of this out for use at recreation. If I may step in, I have one: Order that was founded by two nuns from France. A movie was based on their foundation, but with little attention to the "real" facts. The order is well and thriving today. (And there is a Sister Praxedes in the community, but I'm not her!) [/quote] It's Praxedes' turn, AND nobody has answered this guess-the-order yet, so have at it. Happy Fourth of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
