Anna Nobili, 38, spent years working as an exotic dancer and striptease artist at Milan night clubs but now she's a Catholic nun who describes herself a "ballerina for God". The Daily Mail reports that Sr Anna Nobili, a lap dancer turned nun is to perform a religious dance in front of an audience of Catholic cardinals and bishops. She swapped string bikinis and high heels for a nun's habit after a visit to the shrine of St Francis in Assisi, a place of pilgrimage for millions of Catholics in Umbria, in 2002.
