The canonization of St. Teresa of Ávila
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article describes the stages in the canonization process of St. Teresa of Ávila (Teresa de Jesús), starting from her death in 1582 and following the various processes, which are exceptionally well documented with testimonies. These begin with the recognition of her heroic virtues and holy life, leading then to her beatification and culminating in her canonization. The accounts of the processes bear witness to the exceptional figure of Teresa of Ávila, a foundress who was famous during her own lifetime for her holiness, and whose reputation spread to an extraordinary extent reaching all levels of society, so that we can speak of it as a socio-religious «phenomenon» in itself.
