Why nuns wear black and white? Maybe it’s the notion most of us have about nuns, no middle ground–everything is white or black, good or bad, even white or black hats? I’m just speculating, for I’ve only known one nun in my life.
I met Carol as a lawyer when needing advice with paperwork after my husband died. She also tutored my grandchildren in math, sewing, quilting and knitting.
When we met, an instant friendship blossomed with whirlwinds of conversation where I learned she was kind, intelligent, funny, generous, and been a nun! Then we moved. I miss her.

I’m glad you used this prompt to share the story of friendship you had. Thanks!

I have never thought about nuns wearing black. It is interesting that I associate black with evil, darkness, bad guys in movies and I associate goodness and good guys with the color white. You’d think they would wear white. lol

Of course some do, especially in other countries. It’s just one of those stereotypes.

Despite the horrors of being taught by nasty unhappy nuns I have been fortunate to know a few who were lovely, the thing is like your friend, they were once nuns.
