Nun Delivers Surprising Performance On Italian Version Of ‘The Voice’ [Video]

Sister Cristina Scuccia is a 25-year-old member of the Ursuline Sisters of the Holy Family. Recently, Sister Cristina performed on The Voice of Italy, and blew everyone away.

Sister Cristina surprised the four judges on The Voice of Italy when she appeared on March 19th. It seems they were surprised by both her voice and her habit.

The judges on the show begin with their backs turned to the performer, and turn around only if they like what they hear (exactly like the American version of The Voice).

As the judges turned to face Sister Cristina, their surprise at seeing a young nun singing Alicia Keys' "No One" was pretty obvious.

The four judges of the popular TV program are Italian singers Raffaella Carra, J-Ax, Noemi, and Piero Pelu.

After her performance, Sister Cristina was asked if she is really a nun, and why she chose to compete on the show.

“Yes, I am truly, truly a sister. I came here because I have a gift and I want to share that gift. I am here to evangelize,” she replied.

Sister Cristina is now trending on Twitter with the hashtag #suorcristina.

Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, used the hashtag in a tweet Thursday, commending her for sharing her talent with the Italian people.
