No, they are certainly not Sith masters, but quite possibly in tune with the Force.
These two Orthodox nuns passed by me and I loved the contrast between their humble presence and the pseudo-arabesque architectural kitsch of the distant hotels, where tourists from Russia and Western Europe pass out from too much alcohol and drugs.

Nerd bonus! Eastern Orthodox monasteries are either for men or women, but operate in much the same way. Although it's typical for catholics to call ascetics living in monasteries "nuns" or "convents", in Orthodox monasteries, they are called "monastics" ("монаси" in Bulgarian). The abbess of the monastery is called "hegumen" or "hegumenia" ("игуменка" in Bulgarian).
