'''Igumen''' is the title for the head of a [[monastery]], similar to the one of [[abbot]]. The head of a convent of nuns [[nun]]s is called ''igumenia '' or ''ihumenia ''(Greek: ''hegumeni''). The term means "the one who is in charge,", or "the leader" in Greek language. An igumen is not necessarily a member of the [[clergy]]. ==See also==*[[Archimandrite]] ==External Links==*[[Wikipedia:Hegumen|''Hegumen'' at Wikipedia]]*[http://www.orthodoxed.org/article.php?id=40 Holy Orders: Abbot] [[Category:Monastics]]
