Three elderly nuns in Austria, aged 81, 86, and 88, have defied their diocese and returned to their former convent after being moved to a nursing home. Despite lacking utilities initially, supporters provided assistance. The nuns, now active on Instagram with over 10,000 followers, are documenting their efforts to restore the convent and maintain their independent life. A dispute with church officials continues, with the nuns refusing to return to the nursing home, citing concerns about their well-being and alleging mistreatment.
