Let’s be real—when people think about religion, “hilarious” isn’t the first word that comes to mind. But maybe it should be. Behind the solemn sermons and stained glass lies a treasure trove of stories that are downright laugh-out-loud funny. Yes, holiness has a hilarious side. Whether it’s nuns with sharp comebacks or priests with unexpected punchlines, these stories remind us that divine joy includes giggles too.

The Joke That Started It All: Two Nuns and a Cheeky Revelation

Let’s kick things off with the story that gave this collection its name. Two nuns walk down a dark alley when two men suddenly ambush them. One nun, with saintly grace, says, “God, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.” The second nun, without missing a beat, quips, “Mine does!”

Too much? Maybe. But let’s admit—it’s the kind of unexpected humor that makes you laugh and blush at the same time. Holy and hilarious.

Family Christmas Cards Gone Wild

Video: Funny Joke For Holiday Hilarity!

Wrapping It All Up: Laughter Is Sacred, Too

So, what do nuns, donkeys, runaway candy, and upside-down angels have in common? They all prove that holiness doesn’t mean humorless. Life’s messiest, funniest, and most awkward moments are often the ones we remember most. Faith doesn’t cancel out fun—it invites it.

These 40 stories show that even in the most sacred places, joy finds a way to sneak in—and usually with a punchline.

So next time you hear a joke at church or witness a divine blooper, don’t stifle your laugh. Consider it a little blessing in disguise. Because laughter? That’s the holiest sound of all.
