Sixtina87 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 okay last night i couldnt sleep.... so i was coming up with ideas for a new topic...but i thought about things that make certain orders different from the rest....ofcourse every order is different in its own specail way...but it seems that the same missions are everywhere... so what makes a community different...... what symbols make them standout??/ ie what they wear or stand for... what mission are different that no one else can do except them?? and what community is it that you are talking about. the only communities i can think of is the Daughters of St. paul, their habits are blue and their necklace is a open book in the shape of a cross...and they proclaim the gospel in all forms of media...... and a few tohers but i'm sure someone else will mention them.

OLAM Dad Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Neat idea, Sixtina. This is the medal that all PCPA postulants and novices wear worldwide.

jgirl Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Also, there is the Franciscan cord that many wear. It has the three knots for the three vows: poverty, chastity and obedience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this picture you can clearly see the cord on Sister Mary Gabriel (a fellow Houstonian btw, woot!).

[right][snapback]861209[/snapback][/right] [/quote] thats a good one...what about the carmelites and communites who dont wear the rope, they wear a black belt...it symbolizes strength..... and speaking of things that they wear...i'm surprised no one has mentioned the habits or garments that religious wear...it kinda obvieous but they all symbolize their dedicated to christ alone and to those wearing them.....its a simple reminder of their vows and their dedication as well.... I'm going to see if i can find pics of things that symbolized during vows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
