Image Title: Nuns of the Order of Saint Basil

Description: This etched print features a nun of the Order of Saint Basil, a Greek Catholic monastic order that has its Mother House in Rome. The order underwent a reform by the initiative of Josaphat Kuntsevych (1580-1623 CE), which brought the individual monasteries living according to the rules of St. Basil and St. Theodore Studite united into a single congregation under a Protarchimandrite directly subject to the Metropolitan.
