[Artemisia] [Artemisia ]Monk Robes...was Uprising XXI

[morgan wolf]

Cistercians wore white robes with black mantles, and small/non-existent tonsures, and were very popular in Wales, where a lot of the progenitors of that particular modern order are from (translation- many of the original settlers of Utah were Welsh)

Yes, Stepana, I believe you're right! We'll keep them away from the black robes of the Benedictines.  Franciscans might work nicely, with the whole vow of poverty thing.  Although, some thought must be given to Cistercians, also, since it was said a blind monk from one abbey in Ireland could easily find his way around an abbey he'd never been to in France, simply because the buildings and all were identical...Also, PLEASE someone correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Cistercian robes white with a bit of black?

Dalek: But you have no weapons! No defences! No plan! 
Doctor: (grinning) Yeah. And doesn't that scare you to death?
