Nun

A nun is a woman who dedicates her life to religious service, typically within the Christian tradition, especially in Catholic, Orthodox, and some Anglican churches. She joins a religious community, takes vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and lives according to specific spiritual rules. Nuns often engage in prayer, spiritual study, compassionate work such as teaching or caring for the needy, and community service. Their purpose is to deepen their faith, support their religious community, and serve others through a life of devotion and service.
