Trappists
Austere Cistercian order
Trappists are members of a Roman Catholic monastic order known for strict observance, contemplative silence, and manual labor.
The order emerged from the Cistercian monastery of La Trappe in France.
Trappist monks are famous for brewing beer—Trappist ales must be brewed within monastery walls under monastic supervision.
The Trappists maintain a vow of silence during most daily activities.
