1872 Bowed Carthusian Cowl Habit Habits Heads Monastery Monastic Monk Monks Morning Orderly Process Procession Reverence Cowls Matins
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the early morning procession of Carthusian monks as they make their way to Matins, the first prayer service of the day, at 2 am. Dressed in their distinctive cowls and habits, the monks move in an orderly and reverential manner, their heads bowed in deep concentration. The Carthusian Order, founded in 1084, is known for its strict adherence to solitude and silence, with each monk having his own cell for prayer and study. The scene depicted in this photograph, taken in the late 1870s, offers a glimpse into the historical monastic life of the Carthusian Order. The monks' devotion is palpable as they make their way through the dimly lit corridors of their monastery, their footsteps echoing softly against the stone floors. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment of profound spiritual connection and commitment to religious life. The Carthusian monks' dedication to their faith is evident in their posture and demeanor, as they move with a sense of purpose and discipline. The cowls and habits they wear, with their distinctive crosses and tassels, add to the sense of tradition and history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Carthusian Order and the importance of religious devotion in the lives of these monks.
