The Cistercian Monks

We attended a prayer service inside here last night. We have no idea
what they were saying since it was in Latin. The monks stand in
little cubbies at the front. They seem to bow a lot, but we don't
know the reason they bow. I noticed the older monks bend more than
bow. Guess even monks get stiff in their old age. We know monks do
work out as we saw they had a gym with free weights and some were
running during the day. The hymns sounded cool in the monastery.
