A picture is worth a thousand words. [/quote] It's time for another bump! Don't let this thread disappear to the archives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1306788057' post='2247763'] They have very pretty habits. What are their veils made of? They look like little handkerchiefs. Charming. [/quote] Although I also love beautiful long veils, I like these Sisters' veils as well. They seem very simple and practical, and speak to poverty and no longer caring how you look--yet are obviously a veil. When I see very beautiful veils, as much as I love them, I still wonder whether the Sisters/nuns have a more difficult time letting go of that last bit of pride in their appearance, or pride in the beauty of their veils. I suspect that after a time, the vast majority of Sisters never think about how beautiful their veils are. And, for Sisters very new in religion (before taking final vows when they have not yet renounced the world), perhaps a bit of pride that they are beautiful for Jesus helps them through the difficulties of formation. Still, these Sisters look very approachable and comforting, yet unlike some very modified habits, these are obviously religious habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faithcecelia Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Their habits and veils seem very much in the style of the Puritans to my eyes, and also the Amish - simple, modest but also very becoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deusdedit Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 The veils are quite interesting. They are made of fairly stiff material and are pleated at the back. There is a length of elastic under the chin which keeps them in place. Here are some pics which show what they look like from the side: [img]http://www.kanaan.org/international/kanaan/images/sisters-at-work3.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.kanaan.org/international/kanaan/images/sisters-at-work.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cloud, of course, is that their new chaplain's abbey is closing soon -- Our Lady of Spring Bank, Sparta, Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
