A 105-year-old woman who spent 86 years as a cloistered nun died overnight Wednesday in Spain.

Sister Teresita Barajuen, who belonged to the Buenafuente del Sistal monastery northeast of Madrid, is believed to hold the world record for living within the confines of a monastery.

The Spanish nun entered the monastery in 1927 at the age of just 19. Her days "follow[ed] the daily rhythm of prayer and work, from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.," according to Father Angel Moreno, chaplain of Barajuen’s monastery.
