点评:I have been taking retreats here since 2005 - at last count 15+ visits. Easter season, Christmas season, Advent, Lent, Ordinary Time, a full week, or just a weekend - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter - all times are wonderful at Holy Cross. There was a great article in the Washington Post 20 or so years ago documenting a reporter's experience - look it up, not much has changed. I agree with the other reviews about the beauty (though it is a working farm - so you get farm noise and smells on occasion.) Also, the silence in general is a great break from the city life. Catholic or not, the daily services are open to all and though not required to attend I would encourage all to go at least once. Take a break from the 21st century and head to Holy Cross Abbey.
翻译:自 2005 年以来,我一直在这里静修 - 最后一次访问超过 15 次。复活节、圣诞节、降临节、四旬期、普通时间、整周或只是一个周末 - 春季、夏季、秋季和冬季 - 在 Holy Cross,所有时间都很棒。大约 20 年前,《华盛顿邮报》上有一篇很棒的文章记录了一名记者的经历 - 查了一下,并没有太大变化。我同意其他关于美景的评论(虽然它是一个工作农场 - 所以你偶尔会听到农场的噪音和气味。)此外,总体上的沉默是远离城市生活的一个很好的休息。不管是不是天主教徒,日常服务对所有人开放,虽然不需要参加,但我会鼓励所有人至少去一次。从 21 世纪休息一下,前往圣十字修道院。
