Christmas Greetings� A little convent from Spain

spain-avila-st theresa convent
In Avila, a city walled in almost on all sides, I walk into a small shrine which was built on the home of the famous saint, St.Theresa. The 17th century convent , built after her canonisation is largely closed to public but it opens its doors to tourists who want to visit St Theresa�s chapel inside the Baroque church. We see scenes from her life, besides her relics � a finger from her right hand besides rosary beads among other things she used.
