Ulsterman Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Catholic-almost certainly a Bavarian. Do you mean the Order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm no expert - but my first reaction was Orthodox rather than Catholic. Of course, that would make him Russian rather than German. And those fellows in the back look German. Certainly, he's from a monastic order with that frock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Liontas Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Catholic Bavarian Monk serving his duty time. The Catholic monks were allowed to wear their robes rather than a unifom if they represented a certain order. I saw the majority of these with Bavarians. An Orthodox would be a little different in the vestment and cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I would suggest, due to the rope cingel, that he is a member of the "Franciscan family". This family consists of three (male) orders: - Fraters Minores (O.F.M.) - Conventuals (O.F.M.C.) - Capuchins (O.F.M.Cap.) All male and female members of Franciscan orders can be recognized by the white rope (cingel) with three knots in the loose end, round the waist. The males all wear a brown cloak, with minor details differing between the 3 orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
