For someone who has grown up within the 4 walls of a convent school, it is hard for me to process nuns enjoying themselves and having a good time. I remember nuns being the epitome of discipline and a glance at them was enough to make me run back to class when I thought of bunking!
Hence, it came as a surprise when I saw this video of a group of cloistered nuns playing basketball to pass their time amidst the lockdown in Spain! According to The Indian Express, the nuns belong to San Leandro convent in Seville.
Have a look at the video here:
Nunca pensé que vería a unas monjas de clausura jugando al baloncesto. Hoy he visitado el convento de San Leandro, donde sus monjas han cambiado la elaboración de sus célebres yemas por mascarillas sanitarias. Entre costura y costura, tiros a canasta. #Sevilla #Sevillahoy pic.twitter.com/enf7TyVjCy

People on the internet are impressed by their basketball skills, especially the one in the white dress who some claimed shot better than Kobe Bryant!
Mother Superior shoots more than Kobe.
