ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Religious sister

Okay kiddo, so you know how there are different kinds of people in the world, right? Well, some people choose to live a special life where they belong to a group called a religious order. Within these religious orders, there are some people who are called sisters.

Now a sister is a woman who has decided to dedicate her life to serving God and helping other people. She might live in a special house called a convent with other sisters who have also made this choice.

The sisters pray together and help those in need, like feeding the hungry or visiting people who are sick. They also wear special clothes, which can vary depending on their order, to show that they are part of a religious community.

Being a sister is kind of like having a really special job, where your work is to always think about how you can love God and love other people. It’s a really big choice to make, but for some women, it brings them a lot of joy and peace in their hearts.
