Nunsuch Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 This article, about the same publication, has even more interesting (in my opinion) graphics! https://www.grafik.net/category/take-five/habit-forming
Sister Leticia Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 I saw another link to this a couple of weeks and sent it to a Cistercian friend, as her habit was featured. She said they got the symbolism wrong. The book says Cistercians wear white for purity, but she says their original habits were a kind of creamy colour simply because that was the colour of undyed material, which was the cheapest.
