Trappist monks
Quiet abbey dwellers
Trappist monks are members of a Roman Catholic monastic order known formally as the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance.
They follow the Rule of Saint Benedict, emphasizing silence, prayer, and manual labor.
Trappist monasteries are known for producing beer, cheese, and other goods: Trappist ales are brewed within monastery walls under monastic supervision.
