A Trappist Monastery is a religious community where monks follow the Rule of Saint Benedict, emphasizing prayer, work, and community life. The monks live a life of simplicity and silence, dedicating themselves to spiritual growth and contemplation. They often engage in manual labor, such as farming or crafting goods, to support their community. Trappist monks are known for their commitment to a lifestyle of austerity and self-sufficiency. Many monasteries produce goods like cheese, beer, and baked goods, which are sold to sustain their way of life. The Cistercian Order, to which Trappists belong, values solitude and a deep connection to God through daily rituals and communal worship.
