Some Serious Nuns

Prague is a religious hotspot! Not that anything great in the christian church's history happened here (at least not that I'm aware of) but because after so many year under so many restrictions with the freedom of religion they now have it's like the last heretical frontier in the developed world!!

I see the Watchtower people at every major metro station - and there are Mormons everywhere!!! The cross section of fundamental missionaries tied to CISP is over whelming - and it goes on and on...

However the funniest ones - the ones that bring a smile to my face every time I catch a glimpse are the nuns.

The nuns here wear a full habit - the long black dresses, the crosses hanging low on their breasts, the white wings on their cap with the flowing black cloth covering their hair, the practical black coats... and combat boots. Sturdy, practical, utilitarian. Combat boots.

Yeah, the various religions are all fighting for a piece of the eastern european countries. I have to admit, combat boots are useful regardless of other habits.

So, do the other missionaries look at them and yell "Your Mother Superior wears combat boots!"?
