• Saintly Sisters

Here is a worthwhile new family business that specializes in making dolls of sisters with habits from specific orders.

While I am partial to the Carmelites as shown above they also currently have Sisters of Life, Holy Spirit Adoration Sister, Apostolic Sister of St. John, and Sister of the Visitation. Personally I would also like to see a doll for the Dominican Sisters of Mary.

Saintly Sisters

Since this is a family business faithful to the magisterium you won’t see nuns dressed in polyester pant suits with sensible shoes.

3 Rosemary Z { 03.28.11 at 2:13 pm }: I like the Sister of the Visitation doll the best. I can’t wait to see the entire collection. Keep ‘em coming!

5 NiceLady { 03.28.11 at 8:11 pm }: The Visitation nun’s habit is not correct. Until final profession, they wear a white veil and forehead piece. At final profession, they wear a black veil AND a black forehead piece. And the veil is much smaller. The white part in front is also smaller and rectangular shaped.
6 Catholic Man { 03.28.11 at 9:44 pm }: It is always disheartening when I hear people criticising or poking fun at religious who do not wear a traditional habit. I’m sure that God looks at their many years of faithful service and devotion as opposed to the style of their clothing. Although I do remember that there was a sect at the time of Christ, also mentioned in the Gospels, whose members were also very concerned about the miniscule matters of the law… I forget what they were called but they wore large phylacteries, long robes and loved when others called them rabbi. Any time I feel tempted to judge anothers sanctity by their appearance I call to mind these three words that help me through: mint, cumin and dill.

8 Mary { 03.29.11 at 1:35 pm }: Nice. They found dolls not overy made up and they look like they are not for collectors, but are meant to be played with by older girls.
9 Brandy M Miller { 03.29.11 at 2:01 pm }: This is awesome! I think I’ll have to buy one of these dolls as a First communion gift for my niece.
