When sisters such as these so wear their habit (of which each piece is blessed, has a name, a history and a purpose) one sees the beaming face and cross around the neck: this is witness.
Like other youth of today, I grew up with just a few elderly nuns around, each with the polyester bangs veil with the colonial blouse and lapel pin.
I prefer the biblical tradition in the Church of today: this wool and starched linen as seen in this photo is what I'm talkin' bout!
