Saints, Saying & Shirts - St. Teresa of Avila

If you like Saints (you know, those holy men & women) and their inspirational Sayings, then you'll definitely love these Shirts! Organically hand-doodled by a real kid! Teresa of Ávila, also called Saint Teresa of Jesus, was a Spanish noblewoman who chose a monastic life in the Catholic Church. A Carmelite nun, prominent Spanish mystic, religious reformer, author, theologian of the contemplative life and mental prayer, she earned the rare distinction of being declared a Doctor of the Church over four centuries after her death. Active during the Counter-Reformation, she reformed the Carmelite Orders of both women and men. The movement she initiated was later joined by the younger Spanish Carmelite friar and mystic, John of the Cross. It led eventually to the establishment of the Discalced Carmelites.
