Sisters of finding Jesus in the Temple

The Sisters of finding Jesus in the Temple were a Catholic religious order popularly known as Blue nuns due to the colour of their habit.[1] They were the name of a pre-reformation Catholic order founded in London at the time of the crusades by an unknown dean.[2] A new order was founded in England in 1860 by Cardinal Wiseman and it subsequently spread to France.
