Thats quite the crucifix she`s wearing

That's Sister Maria Consolata Betrone, a mystic who loved to pray "Jesus, Mary, I love you! Save souls!"

Indeed! Thank you. Although I must confess that some of the varieties of headgear --veils, coifs, guimpes, etc. -- not only look a bit bizarre, it seems to me that huge amounts of time must have been spent in starching and ironing them, and how they managed to do anything [even eat!] with them on is beyond my imagination. It is almost as if there was some kind of competition in the 19th century for "weirdest form of headcovering" [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif[/img]

I love St. Katharine; she is a tremendous role model for Americans who get caught up in material things.

But that habit looks so uncomfortable.

JMJ
It's because she's holding the Crucifix. The DSMME wear white gloves when they hold the crucifix, because it's sacred, and used during Mass. The same reason they wear white gloves when handling the Chalice.
