Their habits look so comfortable.

son_of_angels Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Perhaps, then, these religious orders need to adopt something different, so they're less comfortable. Sackcloth and a cilice anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappie Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 [quote name='photosynthesis' date='Jan 18 2006, 08:02 AM']I think nuns' habits are probably more uncomfortable than male religious habits, because of the veils and everything. It also depends on the season. I'd imagine the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration get really hot in their habits during the summer [right][snapback]858929[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I had a great-aunt who was a Sister of St Joseph here in Australia. She told me the most common problem with the old headgear that covered the ears in summer was ear infections and heat rashes under the veil and surrounding areas.
