Cistercian Nuns
Cistercian Nuns are members of the Cistercian order, a branch of the Benedictine monastic tradition founded in the 11th century. They live in communities called monasteries, where they dedicate their lives to prayer, work, and contemplation. The Cistercian way emphasizes simplicity, self-sufficiency, and a close connection to nature.
These nuns follow a daily schedule that includes communal prayers, meditation, and various forms of labor, such as gardening or crafting. The Cistercian lifestyle aims to foster spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with God. Their commitment to silence and solitude helps create a peaceful environment for reflection and devotion.
