Mr Ed, I love it when you show us the Abbey “workers” had a work. Whether making soap, bread, or coffins, the industry of the Abbey makes me think of medieval times. I’m wondering if there are also scribes workin away on parchments! What a wonderful place for you to use your time and knowledge to serve God. Janet

Most monks in Christian Monastries do agricultural and light industries work, regardless of the sect, the Egyptian Orthodox monastries has large scale farms that produce poultry, meat, dairy, pickles, fish and of course honey, there is a nun monastrey that is producing a herb based powder for weight loss, it is too effective that it helped me loose 20 kilos over a year without any complications, it is hard to put my hands on though

This was very interesting to watch. What a beautiful place the abbey grounds are. Do they bake for own consuption or do they sell the bread they bake? At first I thought someone was walking with a big dog but it turns out to be this cute donkey that even swooshes his tail, walking up to his pasture. This was fun mr. Ed! You are blessed to be working in such a beautiful place and knowing that the bees provide so much for the abbey. Have a very nice day!

This video reminds me of an old monk whom we visited to gather materials for my mother's Phd. He was very charming when we are about to leave he prayed for us all and didn't accept the money my mother gave him. He said I didn't help you for money but if you want to give this donate it to the congregation and same he did with the snacks we gave him he was in his late 80 a few years back, even at that age he wasn't resting. almost all the monks there had hobbies and doing something to keep themselves busy.

I’m a soap maker. Luv the bee molds. I’ve made lotion bars before too. Shea butter is very moisturizing for dry skin, cracked heels on your feet and soothes hard working hands. Good stuff. Hope to see more soaping videos. You can use real honey in soap too but it’ll turn your soap brown. You can also add beeswax to your soap as well.
