Oh my gosh, I know who you're talking about.

What about when she did the rap for the Sisters in the convent and they didn't get it exactly?

CHACOS!!

Chacos are the BEST sandals! I found out about them in the convent and still wear them all the time! At a Steubenville summer youth conference I saw other religious wearing them and was so excited!

St. Cecilia's.

[maximillion]

This is Isle of Wight yes?

I have been mistaken all along in thinking you meant the other St Cecilia's....

Yup, Isle of Wight. Where you thinking the original St. Cecilia's in France?

[andibc]

No idea who these sisters are as the picture was on a random page related to sewing

St. Cecilia's.
[/quote]

Beautiful. I know St. Cecilia's has about thirty sisters, but I believe their chapel holds nearly 100. Just think, once all those stalls or most of them were full.

Interesting, is this a Discalced Carmelite monastery? I couldn't figure it out for sure from their site.

Yep, they’re Discalced.
Here’s a little blurb on their Monastery in Transylvania from the OCD website:

I visited their Skete last yr for the beautiful feast of the Transfiguration – it truly is a little piece of Heaven on Earth…

Pre-modified habit.

Welcome, Stephen!

That is the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary of Belgium -- the 'Nuns Story' community. (For those who read the book, they mentioned how the newly vested novices were shown how to pull to coif (headpiece) up and forward -- and it is very clear what they meant from that picture. It also makes it very clear from the habit that they had Cistercian roots....

If you haven't checked out the 'on live archive' of the community it is fascinating -- pictures, documents, artifacts. Absolutely worth wandering through .... and be sure to read about the priest and sister who were their founders, and what their original horarium and lifestyle was like -- a very good example of trying to live as if in a cloister while undertaking a full apostolic lifestyle. Then go back and read the Nun's Story (or watch the movie) again... and it will explain much more of Sr. Luke's internal struggle..... (not to hijack -- there are already 2 Nun's Story threads... but it is interesting to see the actual photo!)

Here's the link to their archives! The links to the good stuff are at the bottom -- VERY unobtrusive! Don't miss them!

Here's another picture -- you can see that she's wearing her 'choir cowl' above, and the black scapular on her regular habit below -- very Cistercian!

[/quote]

They nursed, and taught, in that habit in Europe--at least, there is no mention of any work habit in the book. In Africa they wore a " tropical" habit, which Sr. LUke described as being of cotton. Whether the headgear was in any way modified, or whether they continued wearing the choir cape--which must have been terribly hot. It must also have been dreadfully difficult to drink one's coffee or eat a bowl of soup with that guimpe!
