Trappistines
Trappistines are nuns who belong to the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance, commonly known as Trappists. They follow a monastic lifestyle emphasizing prayer, community living, and silence. Originating in the 17th century, Trappistines lead a contemplative life, focusing on spirituality and devotion to God. Their daily routine includes communal prayers, work, and meditation. Many Trappistine monasteries also produce goods like cheese, beer, and baked goods, which support their self-sustaining lifestyle. Their commitment to simplicity, hard work, and spiritual growth makes them a unique aspect of Christian monasticism.
