Monasteries


The monasteries are places where monks live, meet and follow certain rules imposed by the same monasteries. Worldwide there are monasteries, and these are really old, but have survived to this day. Some people call the monasteries "City of God." The monasteries are composed of men who have decided to move away from society.

The purpose of the monasteries is that men, who took the decision to attend one, spend their time meditating and praying about life and the world. Besides the monasteries have very distinctive songs. Each monastery is like a closed city to which few can attend.

Today some monasteries are resorts, but its entry is very restricted. Among his rules are not falling on women, and a minimum capacity of men. Besides the monks have done incredibly beautiful monasteries. In Costa Rica, there are some monasteries, for example, "Capuchin” in the city of Cartago.
