He is a major figure of the Counter-Reformation in Spain, andhe is one of the thirty- seven Doctors of the Church.

Teresa of Ávila, OCD (born Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda yAhumada; 28 March 1515 – 4 or 15 October 1582), also called Saint Teresa ofJesus, was a Spanish Carmelite nun and prominent Spanish mystic and religiousreformer.

The movement was later joined by theyounger Spanish Carmelite friar and mystic John of the Cross, with whom sheestablished the Discalced Carmelites. A formal papal decree adopting the splitfrom the old order was issued in 1580.
