1515 1582 Altar Chapel Convent Kneels Prayer Praying Teresa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582), a renowned Spanish Catholic mystic and reformer, in deep prayer before the altar of her convent chapel. Teresa, dressed in the traditional habit of the Discalced Carmelites, is shown with her hands folded in supplication and her eyes closed in devotion. The dimly lit chapel, adorned with ornate carvings and flickering candles, creates an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence. Teresa of Ávila is considered one of the greatest figures in the history of the Catholic Church. Born in Avila, Spain, in 1515, she experienced a series of profound spiritual awakenings that led her to dedicate her life to God. In 1535, she founded the Discalced Carmelites, a reformed branch of the Carmelite Order that emphasized a return to the original spirit of poverty, prayer, and contemplation. This photograph is a rare and beautiful glimpse into the life of this remarkable woman and the world she inhabited. The image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the 16th century and invites us to contemplate the depth of Teresa's faith and commitment to her spiritual calling. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of prayer and the transformative effect it can have on the human spirit. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken during Teresa's lifetime, between 1515 and 1582. Despite the passage of centuries, the image retains its ability to inspire awe and wonder, and to remind us of the timeless nature of the human quest for the divine.
