FYI to those who don't know Slavonic (which would include me biggrin )

Schimnik is a monastic who has attained the Great Schema

Many years,

I love to see pictures of monks wearing the Great Schema.

If you see an excessive amount of Schemamonks, they probably arent exactly doing great in their discipline :P

Does the same stricture apply to Western religious orders with a preponderance of Solemnly Professed Religious?
