Description

The New Skete religious community follows the monastic way of life in the Orthodox Catholic Church tradition, promoting spiritual and moral growth. Through this painting and other creative expressions, the Nuns of New Skete demonstrate their devotion to the Orthodox Church. Around 1969 The Nuns of New Skete built their monastery in Cambridge, NY. This religious community is a small, closely-knit one that fosters spiritual growth in its followers and those who visit and wish to learn about the order's way of life.
