A heartwarming and unexpected moment on a Brazilian religious TV channel has captured the hearts of millions around the world.

Two nuns, Sister Marizele Cassiano and Sister Marisa de Paula, members of the “Copiosa Redenção” congregation, have become viral sensations after their spontaneous beatboxing and dancing performance aired live.

The clip, captured on Brazil’s Pai Eterno (Eternal Father) TV channel, begins with Sisters Marizele and Marisa singing together—until Sister Marizele suddenly breaks into beatboxing, prompting Sister Marisa to take the energy to a whole new level.

"That moment was very spontaneous, because with Sister Marisa, if you start a beat, she will dance," Sister Marizele told AP. "And I’m used to singing, to beatboxing, so for us it was very simple, spontaneous and at the same time very surprising to see that it went viral even outside Brazil."
