OnlySunshine 4,570 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I have seen pictures online of some very unusual looking habits from times past and orders that are no longer around. I thought it would be fun to post pictures of the most interesting and unusual looking ones that we can find.

reminiscere 165 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I believe they were the Religious of the Sacred Heart.

If I had to wear something like these bonnets, I'd feel like a horse with blinders on. I wonder if you get claustrophobic until you get used to it. LOL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] They were called Coronets. They dropped them in 196...3?4? It's a shame. I think they were beautiful. There's a very famous photograph taken at a Vincentian hospital in the area (one that I have a pretty close personal connection to) centered around a sister with a coronet on. I can't find the photo online, but there's a short video with it in it here: http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2011-02-12/story/picture-compassion-and-grace-frozen-time-st-vincents-medical-center Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing! I was at one point thinking of being a Daughter of Charity, but don't feel called there any longer after lots of prayer at contemplation. Wonderful women though!
