The Greek Orthodox Church are hunting 55 nuns - all called Maria - who are on the run after racking up debts of £400,000.
The nuns of the St Kyrikos and Ioulite convent in Northern Greece had been secretly running a knitwear company for ten years and spent their money travelling to fashion shows across Europe.
They ran into problems after spending a fortune on new machinery. After the knitting machines were taken away in a lorry, the nuns disappeared.
Church officials suspect the fugitives are hiding in a Volos monastery in central Greece.
The nuns’ lawyer Dionysios Pelekis asked the church to settle the debt by selling 16 of their properties. The request was refused.

A new road gritting procedure has proved popular with sheep in Wales.
Flintshire council in North Wales has started mixing molasses in with the salt they use to grit their roadways, because it’s an "environmentally friendly agricultural by-product" and helps the substance stick to the surface.
But free-roaming sheep have been licking it off like a tasty treat.
Elfed Evans, of Lixwm, said: "As soon as the gritter has passed they converge in their hundreds onto the roads to lick the free meal provided by the council.
"It is believed that the adjunct used to coat the rock salt contains molasses. The sheep quickly become intoxicated and addicted to the new sweet tasting salt."

The bizarre set of rules issued by Herouxville council in Quebec has fuelled accusations the predominantly French-speaking province is not tolerant towards the customs and traditions of immigrants.
The declaration stated: "We wish to inform these new arrivals that the way of life which they abandoned when they left their countries of origin cannot be recreated here.
"Therefore we consider it completely outside these norms to kill women by stoning them in public, burning them alive, burning them with acid or circumcising them." The councillor who devised the declaration, Andre Drouin, told Canada’s National Post newspaper the town is not racist.

A park is set to open in Italy where young couples are free to have sex.
High property prices in the southern port of Bari forces young people to live with their parents for longer - so they are left needing a place to get intimate.
Giuseppe Foggetti, who devised the concept, said: "My idea was to create a place for those that want to spend intimate moments together without thinking whether someone would be shocked if they saw it. It will offer security and privacy." Couples will pay an entrance fee of £2 to get into the park and an extra £1 for every 30 minutes they spend there.

The 36-year-old actor - who stars in ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’, the third film in the multi-million dollar grossing trilogy based on Robert Ludlum’s books - says the films have no plot.
Damon told Empire magazine: ‘I deliver so many ultimatums throughout these movies but what is the ultimatum? ‘Then again we didn’t know what my identity was the first time. And what was supreme about me the last time? ‘We basically commandeered Mr Ludlum’s titles and it’s starting to show!’ The Oscar-winning star - who played amnesiac Jason Bourne in ‘The Bourne Identity’ and ‘The Bourne Supremacy’ - also revealed they are in danger of repeating themselves in the third film.
He said: ‘The film has to have a certain number elements in it that people liked from the other movies - but you don’t want to repeat yourself.
‘You want to do a car chase because the car chase in the last one was so great, but you can’t do the same car chase because everyone goes, ‘They’re selling me the same thing again!’ ‘That’s one of our concerns.’ Director Paul Greengrass said: ‘Don’t ask me what the ultimatum is. I don’t know the answer.
‘I’m sure we’ll get an Ultimatum in there somewhere.’
