Camaldolese

Camaldolese is a fancy-sounding word that refers to a group of people who are part of a special community that follows a way of living called monasticism. This means that they live together in a special place called a monastery, away from the rest of the world, and they spend a lot of time praying and doing other religious activities.

Now, within the bigger group of people who practice monasticism, there are different smaller groups that each have their own special way of living and doing things. The Camaldolese are one of those smaller groups.

The Camaldolese monks are special because they have two different kinds of monks in their community: some monks live alone in small huts and only come together for prayer and celebration, while others live together in bigger groups in the monastery. This way of living is very old and has been around for many hundreds of years!

The Camaldolese monks also have their own special traditions, such as wearing white robes instead of the more common brown or black robes that other monks wear. They also have their own way of praying called the Camaldolese Office, which is how they talk to their god.

So, in summary, Camaldolese is a special group of monks who live together in a monastery and follow a unique way of living and praying that is different from other monks. They wear white robes and some of them live alone in small huts!
