Lindsay Lohan was photographed carrying a copy of the Koran after her first day of community service in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday.

The actress - who is of Irish and Italian heritage and was raised as a Catholic - held a hard copy of the Muslim holy book in her arm as she finished a day of office work at a children's center. She reportedly arrived two hours late.

It comes as the 28-year-old embarks on an 'emotional detox', giving up alcohol and dating.

Last year Lindsay described herself as a 'very spiritual person' in a docu-series with Oprah Winfrey.

'I'm a very spiritual person and I've become more spiritual as time has gone on,' she told the talk show host.
