They follow the [[Rule of Saint Benedict]] and have communities of both [[monk]]s and [[nun]]s that are known as Trappists and Trappistines, respectively. They are named after [[La Trappe Abbey]], the monastery from which the movement and religious order originated. The movement began with the reforms that Abbot [[Armand Jean le Bouthillier de Rancé]] introduced in 1664, later leading to the creation of Trappist [[Congregation (group of houses)|congregations]], and eventually the formal constitution as a separate religious order in 1892.
