Cluniac nuns

Cluniac nuns were women who lived in monastic communities dedicated to prayer, work, and spiritual discipline, following the rules established by the Cluniac movement in medieval Europe. Originating from the Abbey of Cluny in France, these communities emphasized strict adherence to religious discipline, collective worship, and independence from local secular authorities. Cluniac nuns contributed to religious and cultural life through their devotion, manuscript copying, and charity. Their monasteries were centers of spiritual reform, influencing both religious practices and societal values during their time.
