Really interesting thanks. I always wondered what nuns had underneath their veils. I see someone below has commented that Benedictines don't wear rosaries on their belts, which I didn't know, but those orders that do wear them in this way would have longer rosaries, I believe, 15-20 decades rather than the 5 decades which you show in your video. I appreciate these may be difficult to get hold of for dramatic purposes though!
New Liturgical Movement is a website that deals with liturgical and cultural aspects of Catholicism that might interest you, especially in regards to the historical parts. A lot of Latin Mass communities still wear pre-1962 habits if you want to look them up, but not entirely sure if they can help with 15th century religious habits, never hurts to try though. The Benedictine Monks of Norcia, Italy and the Benedictine Nuns of Our Lady of Ephesus Abbey in Missouri, USA would be my first picks. Hope that helps anyone 😅✌️
en la época Medieval , los hábitos monásticos , de las hermanas o monjas en este caso , no usaban alfileres o puntas metálicas para afirmar las tocas , frontales y velos , estos eran puestos con pequeñas cintas y eran de telas mucho mas gruesas , por ello , se afirman mejor en la parte superior de la cabeza y no se caían. felicidades y saludos desde los confines de la tierra , Santiago de Chile .
There's 2 answers one that seems logical and is untrue and one that seems mean but is in fact true. The first one is that veiling is a religious symbol and the nuns that wear it are confined to churches and monasteries you rarely ever see them strolling in your day to day life while Muslim women are everywhere wearing their veils and living their daily lives France likes to claim to be secular and bans such everyday displays of religious symbols. Now that seems pretty logical but the real answer is that french people are extremely xenophobic and they don't want to ever put themselves in a situation where they could be at the mercy of north Africans or arabs ever there's a big grudge going on for centuries..
My dear, I think you are confused. There is nothing wrong with a woman CHOOSING to wear what she wants. The issue comes when women are forced or pressured by their families or by law to wear certain clothes. Therein lies the problem. While I do not entirely agree with the French, I think their issue isn't with this kind of clothing but rather clothing like the Niqab that not only removes the humanity from a person but also posses a security issue since people can't know who is behind the veil.
Great video, very educational and instructive ... simply just awesome 👍 This might be a little bit of a strange question but, you "guys" seemed to know the answer to it... so here we go😊 : Were there any nuns in the Middle Ages who wore gloves... Please say that there were ... 🙏 😁 And if so, which nuns and why did they wear gloves many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work 👍
The information on the habit was excellent... however it looks like the actual drama has a HUGE error. The altar pre-1970 was always against the wall facing liturgical East. The priest would not be behind that weird table-altar and would not be facing Versus Populum (toward the people). The priest would be facing God in the tabernacle of the high altar facing Ad Orientum. Basically, your costuming was beautiful both the habits and priestly vestments look correct. The architectural monstrosity of modern churches (no altar rail, high altar removed and replaced with minimalist Ikea table in the middle of the sanctuary) and the obliteration of the liturgy and rubrics in 1970 are completely wrong for medieval convent. The Dominicans ought to know better, they still use the traditional Dominican rite liturgy in some cases (as opposed to the 1970s Bugnini liturgy)...
Ma vestire un abito religioso non è una carnevalata. Il sogolo medievale che a quell'epoca probabilmente era un semplive fazzoletto o puntato o allacciato già da secoli viene confezionato bavero e cappuccio insieme e annodato dietro.
I cheat with my version of a wimple by combining it with a cap. Not original but more practical and easier to wear on a daily basis. I do know that the nuns in the Benedictine convent in 14thC Cambridge were often chastised by the Bishop for wearing fashionable clothing and unseemly behaviour including excess drinking and mixing with men.
Worst habit I have ever seen, Benedictine Nuns were mostly rich noble ladies. They would rather drop dead than weat those. Poorly researched. Poor material. Poor execution.
Thank you for your comment. It was something that we discussed a lot at the time and I can understand your point of view. While our production was open to the public, it was not designed to be a commercial show. It was part of a research project and was performed in a nunnery. We worked closely with the sisters to make sure that they would be fully on board with it. The Elevatio and Visitatio ceremonies are not at all part of the liturgy anymore so it was important for us to see and hear what they could have been like. Moreover, I made a speech before the performance explaining our intentions. People could also stay after the show and attend vespers if they wanted to pray.
You sound silly . Let’s get rid of all entertainment that refers to , depicts or shows nuns or priests … they’re too far above us with their invisible fake dude that gives orders . Grow up .
Ah this helps a lot I was searching everywhere how the nun's put it on..Thank you!

Hermosa la monja con su hábito negro y blanco puesto siempre.

They were not costumes...

Please turn down that ding dong music while you are speaking.

Worst transcript ever . Unreadable.
For a profane production to use sacred iconographic attire is a sacrelege. It's like pissing on the flag.
