#Friars

Another St. Dominic story I like that shows his bold and fearless personality, was when he encountered a bunch of heretics and warned him about his mission to preach, only to be followed up with a reply that changed their minds.

I bet he even said that with a smile

Muckross Abbey

This cloister was a friary mid-1400s/1500s-ish but it has been turned into a cemetery. The roof is mostly gone but the rest of the place is pretty well preserved. I saw where the oven used to be in the kitchen, the fireplace, bell tower… Also looks like there’s some dark history associated with place. The inhabitants were reportedly driven out by outside forces pludering the cloister and causing damage a couple times across centuries. I’ve been obsessed with Monks and Monestaries since high school. We saw three old religous sites, two of which were very gothic (one of them was 1200s gothic monestary which is about 100 yrs off my favorite era of gothic architecture in Adare). Some sources on the internet cite this place as a friary and some as a monestary so I’m not sure exactly who used to live here in what times and what kind of way of life was practiced. Monks don’t really leave their cloisters and seem to commit to poverty harder than Friars… I want to know more about religious orders.

Book Review: The Castle of Otranto

Book Review: The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole Today is a particularly bad day at the castle. Worst of all for Conrad, sickly son of Prince Manfred, who is crushed to death by a mysterious giant helmet. This is taken hard by his mother Princess Hippolita and sister Matilda. Prince Manfred is beside himself, less with grief than a certain panic. Conrad was his only son and was supposed to…

St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscans.

Did you know his nickname was "Il Poverello" or The Poor little Man.

.

I've always seen him as generous and warm man, and I can imagine him being lively and extroverted. Someone you'd like to be friends with.

yeah but did you hear the one about the monastery that decided to branch out from winemaking into flower arranging? they announced they would be opening a flower shop and selling gorgeous arrangements

this upset the other florist in town

he was feared everyone would support the good fathers' cause and his own business would tank

he went to the monks and begged them to reconsider, choose a different industry to take up, anything, please

they were implacable

it was florists they wanted to be and nothing would dissuade them

he vented to his friend about this, and his friend said, oh, not to worry, my buddy Hugh owes me a favor, he'll take care of this

friend called up Hugh

Hugh apparently was old friends with the abbot and in no time at all had convinced the abbot that beekeeping would be a better avenue for the brothers

anyway it turns out only hugh can prevent florist friars

An order of reclusive monks moved deep into the chthonic depths of the underworld to better commune with the primordial darkness and discover secret knowledge therein. In the years since they have changed, permanently altered by the knowledge they have gained.
