One Postulant and two Nuns in New Orleans
This picture was taken about 1987 somewhere near the French Quarter area in New Orleans. The identities of these ladies or what organization they belonged to is not known to me at this time.
The woman on the left appears to be a Postulant ("a candidate for admission into a religious order") The two women to the right appear to be Nuns.
I have not been able to find out what Religious Order the emblem on the front of their guimps (collars) belongs to. It appears to be a cross, flanked by a heart and some other object all encircled by a crown of thorns.
Date & Place: in New Orleans, Orleans Parish County, Louisiana United States

About me:I haven't shared any details about myself.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
