What's Your Favourite Color Habit?

[fearundercontrol]

I don't care--I just like to see the habit!

[Matty_boy]

Girl #1: Is it okay to hug a monk?

Girl #2: Yes, just as long as you don't get in the habit!

HAhaha.

I love gray habits! (ok i will be wearing one next year : ) The habit of the Sisters of the most holy Savior (known as Brigidin Sisters) is very beautiful (and gray) and so unusual! (and i will wear it : i'm so happy) I think gray is also a couler of the poor. Many monasteries wear it as the coler of the workin habits.

But i also like brown! becaus it's also the couler of the poor and Carmelits and the Sisters of Saint Claer wear it to! And the Franciscans and so on...

I LOVE the Brigitinne habit, I always thought it was so cool, and very distinctive, which is nice, I mean, I like to be able to tell what order you belong to by one look, Like the SMME with the necklace, or the ones with the blue and grey habit (the name totally slipped my mind)

Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara :

Yes, I LOVE the Brigitinne habit as well! I'll never forget walking into one of "their" churches in Rome (unbeknownst to me) and seeing them in prayer! Taking turns before the exposed blessed sacrament in prayer in this BEAUTIFUL chapel! It was the first time I had ever seen Brigitinne sisters (I was a fairly recent convert)... And I was SO struck! It's one of my favourite memories.

I'm so glad you're discerning with them Ave Maria!

Thank you for sharing my happyines! But the Brigitinne Sisters wich you mean are from the contemplativ-apostolic branche (who is the second or swedisch branch of the order) I will join the first branch who is establisht by Saint Brigitta and its only contemplativ and strictly inclosure. (is this correct english?sorry i'm not very god at it ) But they are wonderfull and i'm so happy that i can go to that monastery!

Oh thank you Jesus and Mary!

Well I LOVE my communities habit so I'd have to say Pink (actually it's technically rose colored) but I also Love the Poor Clares habits too, so brownish/gray would be my next fave color and I LOVE the blessed mother, so I also like blue, but My absolute fave is Pink

[goldenchild17]

I love our CMRI sisters' bright blue habits.

interesting to me, that allot of the 'new' communities in Europe, men and women, where blue, which personally for Sisters fine, but for men, looks out of place and odd to me, maybe a dark blue ... but... even then,

There was this order, pre-vatican 2 who wore these really cool red habits, I think they were nurses, it just looked so cool. I dont think any active orders wear red now, though

I chose black

Though I don't really consider the roman collar and black outfit a habit....

Brown's pretty nice as well.

[Piamaria]

Black for formal, grey for work.

Those Orders are cloistered, though, these ones weren't, unless they changed to a cloistered order, can you do that?

Do many Orders now adays have a feast habit, one that is different then the ones worn everyday?

[color=#000099]Blue! What could be a better way to imitate and think often of Our Blessed Mother? I wear it every day and I haven't gotten tired of it yet. Ever hear of the poem "Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue"? It's all about Mary!
