Trappist Abbeys are monasteries founded by the Cistercian order, specifically following the strict rules of the Rule of St. Benedict. These abbeys emphasize a life of prayer, work, and community, with monks living in silence and simplicity. The Trappists are known for their commitment to contemplation and spiritual growth. Many Trappist Abbeys are also involved in agriculture and produce goods such as cheese, beer, and baked goods. These products are often sold to support the monastery and its charitable activities. The monks' dedication to their craft reflects their values of hard work and self-sufficiency.
