ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nun

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a nun is. A nun is a woman who has chosen a very special way of living her life. She belongs to a group called a convent or a monastery. It's kind of like a big house where nuns live together and help each other.

Nuns are usually very religious and believe in God. They spend a lot of time praying, reading the Bible, and doing good things for other people. They wear special clothes to show that they are nuns, which include a long dress and a head covering called a veil.

Nuns do not usually get married or have children, because they are focused on their religious life. They may also help teach children or take care of the sick or elderly. Some nuns even travel to other parts of the world to help people who are less fortunate.

So, in short, a nun is a woman who lives in a special house with other nuns, prays a lot, helps people, and wears special clothes to show that she is a nun.
