Nunsense Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 ok - what a blast from the past for me. I think the first nuns I ever saw were during the late fifties - early 60s, dressed in all white , and I asked my Catholic friend if they were angels and she told me they were nuns. From that moment on I wanted to be one of them! But of course, being from an agnostic family who thought all religion was an 'opiate of the masses', there wasn't much I could do about it. I did sneak next door to my friend's house every night before dinner to pray the Rosary with them - they had lots of kids and used to keep all the Rosaries hanging up in the kitchen on little hooks, and we would go get one and get it down to use. The Novice in this video is just like the one I saw! And she seems so happy and a little self-consciousness at her new habit, the way she keeps holding out the scapular as if she can't believe it! I hope she is still in religious life today, but whatever has happened to her, may God bless her for he love and offering to Him at that time! Thanks for sharing that video. I love having broadband now so I can watch the videos!!!
brandelynmarie Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 I"m so glad you enjoyed it & it brought up fond memories. I, too, used to go to my friend's house to pray the rosary when I was a Baptist. And her mother ended up being my sponsor! Yes, I wish we could know her name in religion. Unless it is/was Sr. Mary Ethel.
brandelynmarie Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 It certainly look a like a happy day for all of them!
brandelynmarie Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 Oh & notice the advert for ChristianMingle.com??? On a video about nuns!?!

faithcecelia Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Oh how lovely! I love the way cinefilm always makes people look like they are waddling
Nunsense Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 And don't you just love all those hats the women are wearing? I wish hats would come back again.
MarieLynn Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Hats are making a comeback, but not those 1960 type models seen in the video. These latest ones are called 'fascinators' and are just feathers, net and bows. And they are 'tiny'!!
brandelynmarie Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 Maybe the Wearing A Veil to Mass Thread ladies should take a look at this![quote name='faithcecelia' timestamp='1317542503' post='2313784'] Oh how lovely!

Nunsense Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I like the kind that Jackie Kennedy used to wear, nice and simple and plain - no feathers or frills.
brandelynmarie Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 That woman had class, that's for sure.

Clare~Therese Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 For some reason this video makes me think of the movie [i]The Trouble with Angels[/i].

They look like them! I remember they had headgear like this before they changed to the veil they have now.
dominicansoul Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 that sure looks like the facade of the Motherhouse...
brandelynmarie Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 Maybe someone could find out...I [i]thought [/i]they looked like teaching sisters!

[/quote] I really believe they are because I found pictures of the Nashville Dominicans in the same habit.
