The first monastery of the Benedictine order was first ever founded in Italy, in a town called Subiaco. The monastery was then established by Saint Benedict who was born around the year 480AD in Nursia, Italy. The gender permitted to join the Benedictine order is male.The Benedictine order all started from a vision. The unexpected vision was a reflection of ‘The world’s desperate need for meditation and prayer for humanity.’

What attracted me into joining such a major order was the strict routine, high obedience, the charity wise, no social life outside of the monetary and the stability. This being because it allows me to preach to my God and to keep me busy at all times. In this order I love the charity side of it, as we all have had possession of something valuable and expensive, whereas, the poor hasn’t experienced what it is like to own something. Since I was born and baptised, I have always been Christian. Therefore, I did not convert religions. The people who live in the surrounding region have a brighter future, as no life-taking mistakes can happen throughout the monasteries. We have a simple daily routine to follow which keeps us busy and prepared for each day. It also allows us to be open with our gods, and for god to see we are doing well by the donations that are made by Benedictine monks throughout all the monasteries.
Throughout my daily routine I mainly pray and work. With full potential and passion I individually prayer four times a day. This is not including the eight church services I also have to attend where as a group we pray together. Our works includes weeding, ploughing and sowing in the fields, or cleaning the monastery. Even with this such busy day routine we are expected to read, revise the bible and learn a productive education. Besides attending church services, private readings and working, the day is also made up of lunch and sleeping
