Premonstratensians

The Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, commonly called Premonstratensians, is an order founded by Saint Norbert of Xanten at the beginning of the 12th century. The premonstratensians wear a white woolen garment and scapular. The white recalls their religious state while the wool reminds us that they are penitents.
