Italy's Singing Nun, Sister Cristina,
has left the habit and is now just the lay singer Cristina
Scuccia.
Scuccia, winner of The Voice Of Italy 2014, said "If id look
backwards I see my journey with a deep sense of gratitude.
"Change is a sign of evolution, and I'm always afraid of it
because it is easier to anchor oneself to one's certainties
rather than call oneself into question.
"But I felt I had to do what I've done.
"Is there a good or bad? I think that with courage one must only
listen to one's heart".
Scuccia, 34, from Vittoria near Ragusa in Sicily, told Italian
prime time TV Sunday evening that although she was doffing her
nun's garb and headgear, she was "going to continue to follow my
course of faith".
