NonNovi Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 [quote name='Eowyn' timestamp='1350835627' post='2495658'] Cistercian Nuns have my favorite habit. The sleeves in particular. I don't feel called to that order, but the habits are lovely . [/quote] That is not their habit but their choir dress. I believe in English it's called a cowl. Benedictines have it too (in black). Their habits have normal sleeves

I remember sitting in choir thinking they looked like bats. And every morning in the cloister at least one or two sisters would come in with the hems of their cowls upturned and someone would dart from their place to fix it. It took me embarrassingly long to figure out why their sleeve length changed for Mass.

Egidio Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I may have already told you how much i love this habit [img]http://www.settimanaleppio.it/archive/foto/An07Nr01I06aAr01.jpg[/img] [color=#000080][size=5][font=comic sans ms,cursive]AVE MARIA![/font][/size][/color]
Carmelshrimp Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 No point in posting another picture because everybody knows what it looks like, but it HAS to be the Carmelite habit - because it's Carmelite (naturally! )

Benedictines are better...black is slimming.

OnlySunshine Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Nah, you're both wrong! The best habit color is BLUE!

petitpèlerin Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I've never wanted to be a nun. I told my spiritual father that I would be a nun if I could wear a hood. (I've been wearing hoodies half my life and feel naked without a hood.) Then I discovered the Sisters of Bethlehem. Now it's our joke that they're the "nuns with hoods". Wish I could figure out how to post a photo but I do love their habits: simple and monastic.
