ofpheritup Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 The most interesting habit I have heard of is coming from a new order called Children of Mary the habit is purple and white. Very Cool. Check out their site at childrenofmary.net I will not and have NEVER considered any order that does not wear a habit. Is it all about the habit, of course not. But the habit strips away alot of pretense. I was in the army and loved wearing the uniform. It keeps your focus on your purpose. I don't know how else to explain it any better but ya'll get it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariology21 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I went with the Carmelites. I love everything about the Carmelites. For awhile there, I actually thought I'd be one of the one's wearing the habit. But alas, God has other plans. Oh well. I still think they're really cool! ~Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC IMaGiNaZUN Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) The picture of the Cistercians i suppose... didn't show up, i am curious to see these beautiful habits. But somehow i find that the lighter colored habits reflect a dimension of beauty in God that dark habits don't. I feel stupid for asking, but spin? is that the new cool slang term. I am quite the square type of person, and find it hard to catch up on such things. oh well, be patient with my foolishness please.

ForHimAlone Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I'm terrible with posting pictures, forgive me. If you wish to view what the habits look like, the Cistercian nuns' website is: www.nunocist.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin D Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 My favorite nun habit would be the Carmelite ones (?), like on [b]Sister Act [/b] (it's a movie, they were Carmelites). The black and white habits, with the white "helmet" top thing. I guess most nuns don't have those types of habits, since they wrap around the neck pretty tightly.

The Carmelites were a brown tunic and scapular with a black veil and a white wimple. The Benedictines are ususally the ones with the black and white as seen in the movie. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
