Sister says, "To err is human. To laugh is divine." Welcome to the lighter side of convent life Culled from the black-and-white 1950s and '60s, here are hundreds of nuns caught in the act of letting their wimples down. Here are nuns in the surf ("This is even more fun than walking on water"), nuns in bumper cars ("We brake for Jesus"), nuns in a beer hall ("Ale Marys"), and nuns in the museum, huddled in front of a study of nudes ("It's okay to open your eyes. Sister Wendy says it's art"). There are nuns on skates, at bat, at the theater, skeet shooting (nuns with guns ), even hitting the slots (you know it's for a good cause). Catholic kitsch doesn't get any funnier.
very happy with purchase as I collect many things associated with nuns. It was accurately described and delivered quickly.
Hilarious and Practical Too

I loved this calendar so much I bought two- one to use and one to frame the best of the images. These pictures are wonderful- beautiful black and whites of nuns in casinos, looking at nude art, on the beach, drinking beer, etc. These are real women having the time of their lives, in full habit no less. Looking at the calendar every morning is a reminder to have a great day and not to take life too seriously. As a practical matter, the squares are large enough to put a lot of info on, so even people with busy schedules can keep it all in one place.
Tip top!

Ideal for people who like knowing what the date is and seeing nuns having fun, or for people who wish to win an argument with a sceptical friend who claims that nuns don't ever have fun.
