MONASTERIES

Monasteries are dwelling places for a community of persons, especially monks following the Christian faith, who live a life of partial or complete seclusion and are bound by vows to lead a religious life. Churches are a part of the Monastery where the monks spend their time in meditation and prayer. The monastery is a self sufficient place and promotes service to the community. A monastery may be an Abbey or a Priory.
