Yaatee Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 And a few more, also from the Mt. Thabor Dominicans (now that I figured out how to post pictures!)... This looks like a lovely very small monastery which could use vocations. They do appear to have three young(er) members, one a novice.

Yaatee Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Found one - and I had to search in three languages to get it! Marigold, who and where and when?

The picture is from a Facebook page connected (although perhaps not officially, I don't really know) with the community. I think the page was written in Portuguese? Sorry, I don't know much -- I was just like, "Oooh, nuns + cake, I have to post this in the VS thread!"
marigold Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Marigold, who and where and when? No idea, it just came up when I searched!
sr.christinaosf Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I worked last night and had a little extra time so I made rhubarb coffee cake for Sunday breakfast, etc. I was a little disappointed in it. The consistancy turned out perfect and it baked well but the tartness of the rhubarb came through a little bit more strongly than I would care for. Next time (if there is a next time) I would soak the rhubarb in sugar overnight first. As it turns out, I should consider making some icing for it. Lesson to be learned: pre-soak your rhubarb when making coffee cake.

John Paul Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 in Mosul Iraq Those poor heads it must be even more painful cause they are not wearing wimples since that covers the front you know.
NadaTeTurbe Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Those poor heads it must be even more painful cause they are not wearing wimples since that covers the front you know. It's a little sacrifice And it doesn't stop them to be smiling ! Think they are living in Irak, where it is very dangerous for Christian, I'm sure they have seen or suffer worst
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Those poor heads it must be even more painful cause they are not wearing wimples since that covers the front you know. In Communities where the nuns/Religious Sisters wear a crown of thorns for profession, it is usually only for the service, and perhaps the reception after. However, I'm pretty sure I've read of at least one Community/Order(?) where the Sister wears the crown of thorns for three days (to symbolize Christ's time in the tomb). I'm sure sleeping with the crown is uncomfortable, but it is only for a short period. Note: I don't remember which one Community or Communities wear/wore a crown of thorns for three days--I'm sure it can be found by an Internet search if you are interested. Also, notice that three of the four Sisters are wearing the crown of thorns further back on their head, so while it may be uncomfortable, it isn't directly touching their skin. In any case, when the crown of thorns is part of the profession ceremony, it is primarily intended to be a symbol, not an actual penitential practice. I'm pretty sure this is a solemn profession since the Sister on the far right in the picture is wearing a ring on her left ring finger. Based on the habit, these are Dominican nuns. As far as I know (and Sister Mary Catharine please correct me), but wearing a crown of thorns at solemn profession is not a universal, or (I think) even a typical Dominican practice. However, there are variations among Dominican Communities. In contrast, as far as I know, wearing a crown of thorns is standard at profession for Passionist nuns (although, off the top of my head, I can't remember if this is at first profession or solemn profession (or both). I also remember seeing pictures of other nuns/Religious Sisters wearing a crown of thorns at profession, but I can't remember right now which Orders or Communities. (I'm sure it can be easily searched.)

These are SSVM Novices (based on the white veils versus the blue veils of the Sisters holding the cake). Since I think the Order is based on Argentina, and the comment is in Spanish, I'm going to guess it took place in Argentina. As to when? Maybe AMP knows. Edited June 23, 2015 by IgnatiusofLoyola
vee Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 This is the article that goes with the cake cutting for the iraqi sisters. its more about the archbishop than them though. Im guessing they are OPs as well. https://joansrome.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/chaldean-archbishop-from-mosul-iraq-appointed-to-australia/
