Title: Nun
Post by: 3Chant on Monday 16 February 26 11:36 GMT (UK)

Can anyone identify which order this catholic nun belonged to from her costume? The detail on the crucifix is blurry. The photograph is from a studio in Buenos Aires and I have an address for an 'Annie Sister Stanislaus' in Buenos Aires but the address no longer exists. She is originally from Ireland or possibly USA.

I think it says sancta unio on the cross, and these are worn by Holy Union Sisters.
They were present in Argentina by the late 1880's

Well done, fiddlers lass. That certainly looks good.

Thank you so much, Fiddlerslass. I have had a root around the Holy Union sisters website and I am sure that you are right. Another piece of the jigsaw.
