Where does the nun take you?

To the monastery outside of town

As Aurelia continues forward, eventually you see a stable. After a short conversation with the stablehand, you realize that this is where her carriage and horses were waiting for her. Soon, you and the nun are riding together in the carriage out of the town. You notice that there a few crates in the back of the carriage.

Aurelia holds the reins of the horses firmly, keeping her eyes ahead on the road. You're not sure what to say about this woman who almost literally plucked you from the street. You want to be grateful, but something keeps you from expressing any gratitude. There's something off about this woman, you decide. Perhaps in time, you can figure out what.

The abject silence is finally broken by Aurelia herself. She asks you, "So Rosa, do you have any idea where we might be going?"

"I suppose to the monastery where you come from?" you reply, only half-sure.

"Ah!" She replies, delighted. "Well done. We are indeed headed back to the monastery. The Sisters have always been in the service of rescuing the downtrodden."

"So, I'm to become a nun?" you ask, unsure of how that makes you feel.

Aurelia laughs. "Ha! If only." She looks wistfully into the distance. "We are actually in need of servants. It's rather menial, but it pays and provides food and shelter, and it appears you were in **** need of both."

Well she is not wrong, you think. But you didn't leave your hometown to end up sweeping the floors of this convent. Aurelia seems to have read your mind. "And don't worry. For if you grow tired of the place, and have accrued enough savings, you are more than welcome to set forth again. Hopefully with better luck this time."

It seems like a great deal. An almost too great of a deal for something in your position. In the end you have no real choice here. If it were this or prostitution, well, it doesn't hurt to have a back up plan.

After a few more minutes on the road, the shape of the monastery begins to form in the distance. Aurelia begins to quote:

Unbroken stones, unbroken hope
Take my weariness, take my sin
Lead me to thy embrace
And give me to pleasures untold

You reply, "That was lovely. Where is it from?"

Aurelia doesn't look at you but replies, "Just an old hymn," and doesn't elaborate further.

The impressive structure now looms overhead. Additionally, you can see large colored banners adoring the towers. They seem familiar to you somehow.

"Tell me, Rosa," Aurelia asks, looking at you. "Do you recognize our temple sigil?"

You squint your eyes. Though it may be fuzzy, you think you can see the sigil as...

What is the sigil on the temple?
