Question

What did woman have to do to become a nun the in the medieval ages/crusades?​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Many women were placed into convents by their families. The Church received a dowry from the parents of the nuns, and any jewellery which belonged to the girl which added wealth to the convent or nunnery.  
• Many convents and nunneries only accepted postulents who were from wealthy backgrounds. Every candidate for admission  to a nun's order took the vow of obedience.
• The postulancy usually lasted one month, the novitiate one year, at the end which simple vows were taken.
• The solemn vows of the Medieval Nuns were taken four years later. Having once joined she remained a nun for the rest of her life.
• The medieval ceremony for the consecration of nuns was similar to a wedding - a nun would be seen as married to God.
• A ring was placed on the nun's finger and she wore a wedding crown or headdress.
