Saint Teresa of Avila is one of the most influential women in the history of the Catholic Church.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her revolution began in 17 convents of the Carmelite Order spread throughout Spain in the 16th century.<\/p>\n

\n'She wrote a book, called 'The Foundations\u00e2?\u009d. In it, she describes the 17 places in Spain where, \u00a0little by little, she installed what she called 'bird houses\u00e2?\u009d. She would call her nuns 'doves\u00e2?\u009d.<\/p>\n
To commemorate the 500th anniversary of Saint Teresa of Avila's birth, these 17 Spanish cities came together to promote a pilgrimage where religion and culture go hand in hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The initiative is called 'Footsteps of Teresa\u00e2?\u009d and among the cities participating are \u00ed\u0081vila, Burgos, Valladolid, Sevilla and Granada.<\/p>\n

\n'The first goal is to come closer to Saint Teresa. To look for her. The second, logically, is to go through at least four of these cities and end at the fifth one, which is \u00ed\u0081vila, where she was born, the point where everything began.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
Pope Francis is looking into possibly visiting \u00a0\u00ed\u0081vila to celebrate this anniversary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whether he visits Spain or not, the organizers of 'Footsteps of Teresa\u00e2?\u009d are confident that thousands of pilgrims from around the world will get to know first hand this Doctor of the Church \u00a0and mystic through the cities where she lived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
