Nun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nun is a woman who made a special vow (or promise) dedicating herself to a religious life. Roman Catholic nuns are the most commonly thought of nuns, but nuns are found in different forms of Christianity as well as non-Christian religions such as Buddhism. A nun is the female version of a monk.
