will turn on the ladies. Nun costume and accessories for disguise and late night parties at the monastery. In general, when a person enters a convent
she must first undergo an initial period of testing the life, known as postulancy. This usually lasts for a period of six months to a year. If she,
and the order, decide that she may have a vocation to the life, she receives the habit of the order and undertakes novitiate. This is a period of
living the life of a nun without taking vows and generally lasts one to two years. Upon completion she may take her initial, temporary vows. Temporary
vows last one to three years, typically, and will be professed for not less than three years and not more than six years.
In the earliest age of Christian monasticism the ascetics were accustomed to live singly, independent of one another,
not far from some village church, supporting themselves by the labour of their own hands, and distributing the surplus
after the supply of their own scanty wants to the poor. Increasing religious fervour, aided by persecution, drove them
farther and farther away from the civilization into mountain solitudes or lonely deserts. The deserts of Egypt swarmed
with the "cells" or huts of these anchorites. Anthony the Great, who had retired to the Egyptian Thebaid during the
persecution of Maximian, A.D. 312, was the most celebrated among them for his austerities, his sanctity, and his power
as an exorcist. His fame collected round him a host of followers imitating his asceticism in an attempt to imitate his
sanctity. The deeper he withdrew into the wilderness, the more numerous his disciples became. They refused to be
separated from him, and built their cells round that of their spiritual father. Thus arose the first monastic community,
consisting of anchorites living each in his own little dwelling, united together under one superior. Anthony, as Johann
August Wilhelm Neander remarks, "without any conscious design of his own, had become the founder of a new mode
of living in common, Coenobitism." By degrees order was introduced in the groups of huts. They were arranged in lines
like the tents in an encampment, or the houses in a street. The earliest known Christian monastic communities consisted
of groups of cells or huts collected about a common centre, which was usually the house of some hermit or anchorite famous
for holiness or singular asceticism, but without any attempt at orderly arrangement. Such communities were not an invention
of Christianity. The example had been already set in part by the Essenes in Judea and perhaps by the Therapeutae in Egypt.
