A 30-year-old nun from Kysucke, Nove Mesto in northern Slovakia stabbed a schoolboy in the hand so he could experience the suffering of Jesus.
Sister Ludovita had been giving an RE class at a school when she beckoned a boy to the front of the class.
She then reportedly proceeded to take a needle from her handbag before ramming it into the hand of seven-year-old Adam Celko, and told him that this was how Jesus suffered.
She also said that he too would experience a similar fate if he behaved badly.
Adam's mum Helena, 30, said: 'When Adam got home, he had a wound on the back of his hand and when I asked him what had happened he told me the nun had done it.
'I was completely shocked. I mean, what on earth was she thinking?'
A school spokesman said: 'We strongly disapprove of this sort of teaching method.
'She added that the children had been invited to voluntarily experience mild pain so they could empathise with the theme.
'She said she had invited the pupils to prick themselves if they wanted to but were not forced to.
'She denies stabbing the boy and says he did it himself.
'Either way this is inappropriate behaviour and will not be tolerated in this school.
Peter Holbicka, a local priest, added: 'The Sister in question has been removed from the school and I shall be taking the matter up with her personally.'
