A Convent Lady is a woman who has taken religious vows and lives in a convent. She is often referred to as a NUN, which is a three letter word. A NUN is a member of a religious community of women living under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They are usually associated with the Catholic Church, but there are also Nuns from other Christian denominations. Nuns typically dedicate their lives to prayer and service to others.
