There were three nuns, they all told the priest that they were going to do one sin each.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
A very popular Nun who became a Saint was St. Therese of the Roses. There was a song out about her back in 1956, all the kids used to be football mad and most of them supported Shamrock Rovers, they would sing “Saint therese plays for Rovers” to the air of the song, much to the disgust of the local clergy.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Ok...[yes,I know ozzie 'erbert'll be straight on my back]...but,'nunnery' is a slang term. It refers to a gathering of women. Shakespeare [who even dimmo Gummy will have heard of] used the term in his play 'Hamlet',when he [Hamlet] was yattering about 'nunneries' which,in his profane ravings,actually meant 'brothel'. Whereas 'convent',is a word that derives from Latin and means 'a gathering'. Although today it's used exclusively to refer to a place of nun's,originally,it also referred to what today is called a 'monastery'.Thread Tools | |
