The Order of the Cruciform Sword (OCS) is a secret Catholic military organization built to support The Warrior Nun’s demon-fighting missions.

Created by Simon Barry, WARRIOR NUN chronicles Ava’s demon-fighting adventures. Eighteen episodes were produced, and each episode is named after a relevant Bible verse. The first is Psalm 46:5 “God is within her; she will not fall.” WARRIOR NUN can be streamed on Netflix.
