Marta A' Bhean-Chrabhaidh

Tha Marta air d貌igh-beatha gu tur eadar-dhealaichte a thaghadh.

Tha Marta air d貌igh-beatha gu tur eadar-dhealaichte a thaghadh. Aig aois naodh bliadhna deug, roghnaich i a bhith na bean-chr脿bhaidh 's i a' dol a-steach dhan an 貌rdugh as teinne a th' ann. Anns an taigh-cr脿bhaidh, tha i be貌 ann an s脿mhchair, gun cheangal sam bith aice ris an t-saoghal a tha a-muigh, agus chan fhaic i a teaghlach ach airson seachd tursan gach bliadhna
ann an se貌mar-coinneachaidh s貌nraichte.

Marta has chosen an extremely radical lifestyle. At 19, she joined a Carmelite order, the strictest of all cloister orders. Living under a vow of silence, she is never allowed to leave the convent and can only see her family seven times a year, in a special visitors' room with bars separating the nuns from their guests.
