An odd story. We will not say nuns on the run. We will not say nuns on the run:

A group of Greek nuns abandoned their convent and went into hiding after running up debts of more than 600,000 euros (396,000 pounds) from a knitting business that went bust, authorities said on Tuesday.

The 55 sisters of the Saints Kirikos and Ioulitis monastery in the town of Sidirokastro near the border with Bulgaria, had purchased machinery worth 250,000 euros with bank loans some years ago, police officials said.

But despite supplying several shops, they were running deeper and deeper into debt and risking bankruptcy.
