Spinnest Habit?

[zunshynn]

I'm not going to be a cistercian, but they have the best habits in the world!

Society of Jesus? Since when are there Jesuit nuns?

The most interesting habit I have heard of is coming from a new order called Children of Mary the habit is purple and white. Very Cool. Check out their site at childrenofmary.net

I will not and have NEVER considered any order that does not wear a habit.

Is it all about the habit, of course not. But the habit strips away alot of pretense. I was in the army and loved wearing the uniform. It keeps your focus on your purpose.

I don't know how else to explain it any better but ya'll get it anyway.

I went with the Carmelites. I love everything about the Carmelites. For awhile there, I actually thought I'd be one of the one's wearing the habit. But alas, God has other plans. Oh well. I still think they're really cool!

Oh goodness, that is hilarious!

The picture of the Cistercians i suppose... didn't show up, i am curious to see these beautiful habits. But somehow i find that the lighter colored habits reflect a dimension of beauty in God that dark habits don't.

I feel stupid for asking, but spin? is that the new cool slang term. I am quite the square type of person, and find it hard to catch up on such things.

oh well, be patient with my foolishness please.

I'm terrible with posting pictures, forgive me. If you wish to view what the habits look like, the Cistercian nuns' website is:

My favorite nun habit would be the Carmelite ones (?), like on [b]Sister Act [/b] (it's a movie, they were Carmelites). The black and white habits, with the white "helmet" top thing.

I guess most nuns don't have those types of habits, since they wrap around the neck pretty tightly.

Actually, I think the Sister Act movie portrayed the Carmelite habit wrong. The Carmelites were a brown tunic and scapular with a black veil and a white wimple. The Benedictines are ususally the ones with the black and white as seen in the movie. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[b]Therese[/b] also portrayed the Carmelites with black habits too. Maybe there are different branches of Carmelites?

[Totus Tuus]

I don't think the movie "Therese" actually did portray the habits as black, I think they were really brown, but I noticed that there seemed to be problems with the coloring in the movie (like the reels were messed up or something). If you go to Theresemovie.com you can see trailors which will clarify what the color was.

I don't think there are any carmelites at all who wear black habits.

[MC IMaGiNaZUN]

i know a lot of Carmelite sisters, and none of them wear black.

Thank you ForHimAlone for the link, brought much peaceful rest to my crazy chorefilled weekend. The habits are spin? i suppose, but they are angelic to me.

Glad you enjoyed the pictures. They are certainly very beautiful habits, and it was really neat to see the Solemn Profession where the Sister received the black veil and that choir robe. It sure is something!

[Totus Tuus]

I really wish they had pictures of their ceremonies online. Maybe you could suggest that to them? Or is it supposed to be private?
