Preparing for the ceremony; in the foreground: the holy Habit awaits the return of the postulant after the first part of the ceremony.
In the Chapter Room before the Ceremony 
In the Chapter Room before the Ceremony 
Prostration in the form of a Cross 
Beneath a funeral pall symbolizing death to the world 
And sprinkled with flower petals 
Litany of the Saints invoking the intercession of all the heavenly court 
Profession of Solemn Vows until death 
Signing the vows 
The vows are placed on the altar of sacrifice 
Blessing of the Veil 
The Bishop bestows the veil 
"He hath sealed me on my forehead, 
that I may admit no other lover but Him." 
Uncovering her face 
Crowning with roses and thorns 
Solemn Consecration of the newly-professed by the Bishop 
Solemn High Mass completes the self-sacrifice
