Three Austrian nuns in their 80s have run away from the old people's home where they were placed and gone back to their former convent.
Sister Bernadette, 88, Sister Regina who's 86, and 82-year-old Sister Rita are the last three nuns at the Kloster Goldenstein convent in Elsbethen, just outside Salzburg.
They regained access with the help of former students and a locksmith.
Church authorities are not pleased.
"I am so pleased to be home," Sister Rita said. "I was always homesick at the care home. I am so happy and thankful to be back."
