Suor Cristina Scuccia, the singing nun, won The Voice of Italy 2014 Series 2.
Her finale competitor tried his luck singing 'Stairway To Heaven', but there was no getting past Sister Cristina Scuccia's habit and crucifix.
Suor Cristina was quick to thank God for her victory and recited an 'Our Father' prayer.
"I want Jesus to come in here!" said the 25-year-old, who was dressed in the black shoes and ankle-length black skirt she has worn throughout the competition.
The BBC's David Willey reported on Sister Cristina's rise to fame in March
"I'm not here to start a career but because I want to impart a message."
Sister Cristina added that she was following Pope Francis's calls for a Catholic Church that is closer to ordinary people.She then recited the Lord's Prayer on stage.
Speaking ahead of Thursday's live final, she attributed her popularity to a "thirst for joy, for love, for a message that is beautiful and pure"
