	Cluny (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Cluny nowadays The town of Cluny or Clugny lies in the modern-day département of Saône-et-Loire in the région of Bourgogne, in east-central France, near Mâcon.
		Cluny was guided by an orderly succession of able and educated abbots drawn from the highest aristocratic circles, two of whom were canonized: Saints Odo of Cluny, the second abbot (died 942) and Hugh of Cluny (died 1109).
		Cluny was not known for its severity or asceticism, nor for embracing apostolic poverty, but the abbots of Cluny supported the revival of the papacy and the reforms of Pope Gregory VII that led to unprecedented papal authority.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Congregation of Cluny
		According to the "Bibliotheca Cluniacensis" (Paris, 1614) 825 houses owed allegiance to the Abbot of Cluny in the fifteenth century.
		The abbey-church of Cluny was on a scale commensurate with the greatness of the congregation, and was regarded as one of the wonders of the Middle Ages.
		The abbot's monarchical status was somewhat curtailed after the twelfth century by the holding of general chapters, but it is evident that he possessed a very real power over the whole congregation, so long as he held in his own hands the appointment of all the dependent priors.

	St.Odilo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Among his general activities was the support he gave to Abbot Richard of Saint-Vanne for the acceptance in France of the institution called the Truce of God (Treuga Dei), whereby military hostilities were regularly suspended at certain times (Fridays through Mondays, Advent, and Lent).
		It is appropriate that he should die during the Octave of Christmas because his favorite topic for sermons was the mystery of the Incarnation.
		In art Saint Odilo is portrayed as a Benedictine abbot with a skull and crossbones at his feet.

		Funded by Ferdinand I of Leon, Abbot Hugh built the third abbey church at Cluny, the largest structure in Europe for many centuries.

	Religious Life
		Community life is organized as a family in which the Abbot is father and obedience expected; unlike the ways of other monks, these monastics were expected to remain in the house in which they made their profession, a rule which gave to the Benedictines a great stability.
		Now, all of these monasteries were independent Benedictine congregations that followed the same Rule, with the Abbot of each house being equal to and independent of the Abbots of other houses.
		Anthony Abbot is also known as St. Anthony of the Desert, St. Anthony of Egypt, St. Anthony the Hermit, etc. He is recognized in art by the presence of a Tau symbol, a long staff (often Tau-shaped) with a bell on top, a pig, and, sometimes, a rooster or other animals.
