Beautiful video! 😊 I'm not a very religious person (which is a shocker even to me haha because both of my parents and both of their sides of the family have been Catholic for centuries possibly longer but that's as far back as I was able to go while doing genealogy my family history) but I do have a lot of respect for people who have chosen to dedicate their entire lives to it. To be that driven, passionate and dedicated to something so much so that you're willing to not only dedicate your entire life to it but even give your life to it in some cases is mind blowing to me and demands respect. I was lucky enough to go to the Vatican a few years ago while on a trip to Italy and I remember how in awe I was of everyone and everything and how much the nuns, the priests, the history and everything else demanded respect and how calming their presence was and being there was. I have even more respect for Lady Jutta and the other women who were so dedicated to their beliefs that they were willing to become an anchoress literally be bricked up in a tiny room, their entire existence being strictly dedicated to their religion and alone for the rest of their lives and even others during the Medieval period who were willing to be tortured, executed and died for their beliefs and wouldn't renounce them. Like I said before i'm not a very religious person but i've still always been really interested in Catholicism, it's history and the people involved with it especially the anchoresses. Just so amazing
Of course, you are correct. Lady Jutta is a woman of privilege before she becomes enclosed as an anchoress at Disibodenberg Monastery on the 1st of November, 1112 A.D.. The clip is meant to showcase the contrast between her two lives.

An anchoress would not wear jewels.
