cloistered nuns
Enclosed religious women
Cloistered nuns are women in Catholic religious orders who live in strict seclusion from the outside world, dedicating themselves to prayer and contemplation within monastery walls.
Unlike other nuns who may teach or do charity work, cloistered nuns rarely leave their convents and limit contact with outsiders: The cloistered nuns spoke to visitors only through a grille.
