A loss to not have it today. Hollywood would seem to agree. In 1964 the sisters did away with it. Photo taken at Knock, Ireland.

Come to the National Seminary in Maynooth, Co Kildare! A train ride form Dublin. We have the most beautiful College Chapel in the world!
ReplyDeleteYes, the habit was lovely to see, wonderful to sketch, and hell to wear. I wore it. I know of what I speak. It was heavy--20 lbs, and in New Orleans it never dried out, caused constant prickly heat, and I got pneumonia once just wearing all that wool. The cornette rubbed one's ears raw--caused deafness in other Sisters.
