A very moving account of a Carmelite convent in Bulgaria, with descriptions of some of the persecutions the nuns experienced when the Communists took over.
Unfortunately, it's only the first 10 minutes of the documentary, but still well worth watching. The thing that struck me most was the complete serenity on the faces of the nuns, and the complete absence of frown lines...
Twitch of the mantilla to Nazareth Priest and to Hilary White.

Thank you for posting this, Mac; I only got time to look at it now.
They seem full of joy - even quite playful!
I find it interesting that whilst they all come from countries of slavic languages, most don't come from Bulgaria.
Thank you again, Mac; remember, we need to Skype some time!
