Teresa of Ávila reformed the Carmelite order in sixteenth-century Spain, founding convent after convent on foot and on almost nothing, and wrote of prayer with a directness that has kept her books in print for four hundred years. The open book beside her is her constant attribute, and the Church numbers her among its Doctors. The rough field and heavy lettering mark the antique original as Spanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Saint Teresa medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal’s vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943518351545,"sku":"3c3-295M-WB","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-295M-WB.png?v=1787688737","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-white-bronze-saint-teresa-of-avila-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
