The Last Nun of a Defunct Order

"Many of you may not know that on the girdles we Sisters wear, there are three knots which represent our vows of poverty, chastity and obedience but I have always said that the key vow is obedience."

(Sister Elizabeth, 92, the sole survivor of the Community of the Epiphany, which came to life on All Saints Day in 1883)
