Now this is something you don't see every day.
Sister Marizele, a Brazilian nun, has taken the internet by storm after a video of her beatboxing on a Catholic TV show went viral.
The clip comes from an episode that aired on Pai Eterno, a Portuguese-language Catholic channel, featuring two nuns and a priest chatting about their ministry work.
Dressed in matching light blue skirts and white blouses, the sisters were performing a song when suddenly, Sister Marizele switched gears and started beatboxing like a pro.
As if that wasn't enough fun, the second nun, who was simply swaying to the tune, started doing some hip-hop dance moves.
Not to be outdone, the priest who was quietly standing in the background joined the impromptu dance party.
Even the show's host had to get up and move out of the way to make room for the dancing trio.

The internet, of course, couldn't get enough.
The video has been reposted everywhere, with people comparing the joyful moment to scenes from the 1992 movie 'Sister Act.'
In the movie Sister Mary Clarence, played by Whoopi Goldberg, turns a boring nun's choir into a musical sensation.
One person commented, 'They really dropping Sister Act remake in 2025 huh?!' Another wrote, 'I'm loving this real-life ad for Sister Act 3.'
But beyond the laughs and beats, viewers appreciated the reminder that nuns and priests had lives and passions before joining the church.
'People seem to forget that before becoming nuns or priests, they were teenagers with a love of music and going out. I love seeing them showing off their amazing talents,' wrote one viewer.
