Nuns Traditional Habits Catholic
Traditional habits of the Catholic nuns are almost a thing of the past, although many people are still very intriqued by them. Most people believe that all habits are exactly alike but they were specific to their order. The habits were worn at specific times and in specific ways. To someone unschool in the Catholic traditions this subject can be quite fascinating. For information on the habit of the Benedictines go to the following web site http://www.osb.org/gen/habit.html.
