Any age became nuns. Some children that were left at the nunneries never left and became nuns. Often older women would become nuns because they were sent there by husbands or they were left alone and the nunneries were safe places.

Who can be a nun?
Anyone who has discerned their vocation and has been approved by the order can become a nun, though it is not that simple. To become a nun takes many steps. First, one must be a member of a parish, usually a Roman Catholic parish, though there are Anglican orders. Then one must discern their vocation. They will usually go on a retreat and have a spiritual director to guide them. It takes many years to know if one has a vocation to the Religious Life i.e. to be a nun (contemplative)/Religious sister (apostolic). Most orders want you to have some life experience and at least a university education. It depends what type of order you go to, for example, Dominican nuns are quite intellectual, but each order has a centre of their life. It could be Daily Mass or Praying the Rosary daily. if you want more information on this, you can email me on scholar_kg@mymelody.com
