The sister with the white trim around the top of her veil... is she like a junior professed? She looks like the only one with it, and she looks too young to be mother abbess or something...

Hmmm... maybe I'm wrong: This Sister has a band keeping the veil up...

I think that is what you see in the other picture...
It is definatly a more modified habit... you can see it here:

You can compare it to the other Sister's Habits here:

It would kinda be like a lay sister and a choir sister from back from 1917 Canon days? The lay Sisters had a simpler habit than the choir sisters... The lay Sisters were pretty much the extern sisters who dealt with guests and did all the "mundane" tasks, and did not get to pray in the chapel with the other SIsters in Latin, the lay Sisters prayed in the venicular...

Well, the white novice did not have a modified Habit like that... So I think I'm going with what Susan was saying...

Man, Poor Clares are so cool. :topsy:

Yah, but even if the pics are posed....they do capture a real essence of their beautiful lives. Don't you think that Poor Clares just seem to to look "nunny"? "My" Poor Clares look "nunny" and all other pics I've seen of Poor Clare nuns....they all have this "nunnish" look.

Don't you think? :D:
