"In the Middle Ages the phenomenon of Recluses was widespread. Every large city had some. Exiled at the gates of cities, these spiritual "sentinels" were mostly from the lower classes.
Affected by some sickness or mourning, but sometimes to atone for mortal sins, they were immured alive at the gates of cities, or against the walls of churches. Their only salvation was possible through the sacrifice of their own life, this ultimate vow of humility and piety. "
