A day in the life of a secluded, Benedictine Monastery in Hampshire, England. The monks spend large portions of the day in silence. To keep themselves busy, they have various tasks, from studying to painting, and mixing incense to baking communion bread. A day in a secluded community is not one that is seen regularly and the experience is well worth it.

  • Why do monastries have an age discrimination policy!

  • @alanhussey I don't really think they do - I just think that the older you are the more discipline you have. I'm early 20's and I know that I couldn't do it

  • The video quality is stunningly crystal clear! The audio quality is excellent as well. It's beautiful! I don't mean to be nosy, but was the equipment donated to the monks, or did they buy everything themselves?

  • @1958boomergirl It was my own equipment and I didn't charge the monks - They're good friends. It was an honour to make it for them :) Thanks very much!

  • Fantastic work in the production of the video. You have done these pius men a great favor in the way this was done. god bless!

  • I don't think I could handle that kind of life but they look peaceful. I wish I were in such a state of tranquility. I would miss the outside world but I give them all the credit in the world for doing this and I am glad someone is in there praying.

  • HOW MONKS HELPS OTHER PEOPLE??

  • Great job at making this video. More should be made like this and aired on all tv channels so it may inspire those who need more prayer in their life to do so. I would love to see an hour long documentary like this. Keep up the good work! God bless!
