Historically, Christian monks were vegetarian and still are today. Christian monks imposed many rigorous restrictions upon themselves including fasting and the wearing of 'hair shirts' (animal skins with the rough animal hair against the skin) under their robes. Monks of other religions may also be vegetarian eg. Buddhists.
