Carmelite Nuns are members of the Carmelite Order, a religious community within the Catholic Church. Founded in the 12th century on Mount Carmel in Israel, they focus on a life of prayer, contemplation, and community service. Their mission emphasizes a deep relationship with God through silence and solitude. The nuns live in monasteries, where they follow a strict daily routine of prayer, meditation, and work. They often wear a simple brown habit, symbolizing their commitment to humility and simplicity. The Carmelite tradition also includes the teachings of saints like Teresa of Ávila and John of the Cross, who are known for their spiritual writings.
