Carthusian Monks are members of the Carthusian Order, a Christian monastic order founded in 1084 by Saint Bruno in the French Alps. They are known for their strict adherence to a life of solitude, prayer, and contemplation. Each monk lives in a small cell, focusing on personal spirituality and communal worship. The Carthusian lifestyle emphasizes silence and simplicity, with monks engaging in manual labor and study. They follow a unique schedule that includes long periods of prayer and meditation, reflecting their commitment to a life dedicated to God. Their motto is "Stat crux dum volvitur orbis," meaning "The cross stands while the world turns."
