White Monks

White Monks, also known as White Friars, refer to members of certain religious orders, such as the Canons Regular of Prémontré or other monastic communities that often wore white robes or habits. These monks dedicated their lives to prayer, community service, and sometimes teaching or caring for the sick. The term distinguishes them from other monks who wore different colors, like black or brown. Historically, White Monks played important roles in medieval religious life, establishing monasteries that became centers of spiritual, educational, and cultural activity.
