EmilyAnn Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Their habits are very unusual for Benedictines, the professed veil colour especially. I've never seen anything like it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I've never heard of them before, and yes, the Professed nuns seem to have a sort of peach coloured veil....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graciela Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 There are Benedictines du saint sacrement in in Rosheim (France, I think) who also wear this same style of veil. They were founded by Catherine de Bar / Mere Mechthild du saint-sacrement. I cannot tell if this community is affiliated to the monastery in Rosheim. If I get a chance, I will try to search on the OSB international site to check. I rather like the veil, and I especially like that they have retained the cuculla/cowl given at final monastic profession. Just my 2 cents....
