EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the pious and introspective spirit of the Trappist monks in the mid-19th century. The Trappists, also known as the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, were a Catholic religious order founded in La Trappe, France, in 1664. They were named for the monastery at La Trappe where they established their strict monastic rule, which emphasized silence, solitude, and manual labor. The monks in this photograph are depicted in their traditional habit, which includes a white tunic, a black scapular, and a cowl. Their faces are serious and contemplative, reflecting their dedication to a life of prayer and penance. The monks are gathered in a small, dimly lit room, surrounded by simple furnishings and religious icons. The room is filled with an atmosphere of quiet reverence, as the monks focus on their devotions. The Trappist order gained popularity in the 19th century due to their strict adherence to monastic rules and their focus on self-sufficiency. They established numerous monasteries throughout Europe and the Americas, where they lived in isolation and devoted themselves to prayer, work, and the production of food and other essentials. This photograph provides a glimpse into the daily life of the Trappist monks in the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into their pious and introspective world. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the commitment of these monks to their religious vocation.
