EDITORS COMMENTS
Monaca Dei Sette Dolori, or the Nun of the Seven Sorrows, is depicted in this evocative 19th-century print. The image showcases the deep devotion and piety of this religious sister from the order of the Discalced Carmelites. Dressed in the traditional habit of her order, the nun's face bears the marks of profound sadness and introspection, reflecting her dedication to the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary. The Seven Sorrows are the seven joys that Mary experienced during her son Jesus' life, but are also considered as seven sorrows or pains she endured. These sorrows include the prophecy of Simeon, the flight into Egypt, the loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple, Mary meeting Jesus carrying the cross, the crucifixion, Jesus' taking down from the cross, and the placement of his body in the tomb. The Monaca Dei Sette Dolori would have spent long hours in prayer and contemplation, meditating on these sorrows and offering her own suffering in union with Mary's. This print captures the intense spiritual focus and quiet strength of the nun, her gaze fixed on an unseen crucifix or perhaps an inner vision. The Discalced Carmelites, also known as the Teresian Carmelites, were founded in the 16th century by St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. They are known for their rigorous asceticism, enclosure, and emphasis on prayer and contemplation. The Monaca Dei Sette Dolori embodies the order's commitment to living a life of deep devotion and penance, seeking to draw closer to God through the imitation of Mary's sorrows and joys. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the rich history of religious life and the enduring power of faith, inviting us to reflect on the depths of Mary's sorrows and the consoling presence of her maternal love.
