What a great demonstration! Making a Sisters headdress, is almost a lost art, using the incredible Coif machine. I miss the Great Sisters, wearing their Habits, while growing up, many years ago. Thank You Sisters for all Your Great Work!
I've seen the fluting machine used by the Holy Cross Sisters that made their "pie plates", and once it broke down, they couldn't replace it. I've seen the devise used by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth to pleat their pioneer bonnets. I have an idea as to how the cornette of the Daughters of Charity were made - one sister told me there was an inside piece. I do know that the coifs and headbands and such were several pieces sewn together, and then the guimpe or the collar was sewn on to that. They tied in the back with strings, and may or may not have added other items with strings or pins.
@@jimduffy7199 Yes it would. Nashville Dominicans. Ann Arbor Dominicans. Sisters of St. Francis of Martyr St. George. Daughters of Mary. Perpetual Adoration Franciscans from Alabama. And the list goes on. The "progressive" orders will be mere memories in a few years. The traditional orders are flourishing.
Membership in a church is from a person's faith not the way the clergy dress.! How about inspiring someone to join by showing them your joy in being a member?
@@kennethbjorkmann8517 Remember that quite a few of the communities you list are quite young, and I can imagine that it would be just as much to be able to join and found something new that attracted more than just the habit. The Daughters of Mary is itself a traditionalist order and the Hanceville Poor Clares had a simplified habit until Mother Angelica got, to put it very mildly, upset after a Youth Day in the 90s and reverted to the traditional dress and reintroduced internal and external sisters.
t may feel that way, and look that way, but a habit does not make a nun/sister more or less a nun/sister. However, for practical reasons there may be reasons to wear a habit just as there may be reasons for practical reasons not to take time to make these parts as in this very interesting clip.
This sister is so methodical. I love it! This looks like one of the wimples from the Sound of Music movie. Now, is this a starched piece of cloth or is it soft?
It's no wonder that nuns wanted to simplify their habits! Way too much upkeep for women who were supposed have a simplistic way of living. It took my sister, a nun, twenty minutes to don the habit each morning and hours to to maintain it. Lay people have NO idea what wearing the traditional habit required of each sister....not exactly an easy wash and wear outfit.
And thousands of the nuns who poured out of their orders after the Council would disagree with you. My aunt, Mother Roberta Marie, OSU, left the Urslines after 20 years in the 70s. No conservative, she. I made the off handed remark to her once, "You must have been very happy when the changes came in." And she replied, "What gave you that idea? I left because it ceased to be the way of life I was called to."
@@ryanhilliard1620 Thank you for the story. I'm of the opinion that the changes were for the worse. In terms of habits and the whole way of life. Now, after Cor Orans, it's even worse. Your aunt left just in time to save herself.
@@ryanhilliard1620 True, a habit does not necessarily mean that the person is (arch)conservative. Have put some of these on RUclips. Have the feeling that here in Europe the monasteries are more often, than in the US, more flexible, true liberalism instead of progressivism, with the habits. It depends on the occasion and what you have to do, for example if you work and what you work with, or pray and so on. I think that in the US it's more your do or don't wear a habit.

Fascinating. I've never seen such a machine.
That's one very handy machine
Beautiful. It's a great loss that most nunneries changed these coifs for those ugly kerchief-like veils and bare necks.
If only most sister's had/showed reverence and dressed this way now. Can you imagine how the Church would be booming with new members?
No it wouldn't.

@@kennethbjorkmann8517 Exactly. They should return to traditional teaching and Tridentine Mass and old habit.

Not meant to be.
It was a vocation and a sacrifice.
Connected you with the other members of the community.
