Looking Back: The Story of Three Defiant Nuns in Austria

As we look back at our international reporters' most memorable stories of the last year, we revisit the story of the defiant Austrian nuns. The three sisters, all in their 80’s, recently ran away from a nursing home. With the help of supporters, and a locksmith, they broke into their former convent in defiance of church orders. They’re determined to fulfill their vows and grow old on their own terms. These sisters are have taken Instagram by storm where they’re being supported by a growing community. We go to Salzburg to meet them.
