truthfinder Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Gracian, would you happen to know what the badge on the nuns' upper right arm is? I've seen pictures of these nuns before but never noticed the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if its a badge or medal (larger version) and unfortunately, I could no longer remember what it was. The Nuns sent me some reading materials before Vatican II and I read them long time ago, gosh, I simply forgot! Sorry. I will check my files next week, perhaps, someone here knows? Sorry, dear....

No problem at all! I'm just curious because I've never noticed it before - and I don't think I've seen a badge worn on the sleeve like that either.

NadaTeTurbe Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Why does the sister with the black veil have a short scapular ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 She's either an extern or lay sister: they frequently wore slightly shorter habits so as not to hinder their more often manual labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the same. But more likely, she was a lay sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed something different, wearing the medal on the upper sleeve of the habit. BTW, in McCarthy book, it was mentioned that they wore two medals. The other one is probably attached to their mantles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
