Today's New York Times had a front page "spring is here" photo of two nuns
(in full habit) roller skating down the Hudson River Greenway. No story,
just the picture.
I've seen nuns of this order (grey and white long habits) frequently
between 57th & 7th and the Hudson River, on bikes or skates, mostly bikes.
I always thought it was odd; most nuns don't wear the full get-up anymore
unless they're cloistered, in which case they're not outside. I'm guessing
they go to local places and do some ministry and go back, and HPV is the
most economical solution. Also, traveling in their class-A's might be a
statement about their order's position on that "what would Jesus drive"
question from a few years ago.
Anyone know anything about the rolling nuns?
