Every year on October 15, the city of Ávila celebrates its most famous daughter — St. Teresa of Ávila, mystic, reformer, and the first woman declared a Doctor of the Church. This EWTN Vatican feature retraces her extraordinary life, from her childhood longing for martyrdom to her mystical experiences and reform of the Carmelite Order.

Experts from the Pontifical Theological Faculty Teresianum in Rome — including Fr. Emilio Martínez, Fr. François-Marie Léthel, and Fr. Roberto Marini — share insights into her writings such as The Interior Castle and the spiritual legacy that continues to guide Christians today.
