# Click here for a list of Atelier Leda's medal necklaces ✼••┈┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈┈••✼ This is a medal necklace of "Saint Teresa of Jesus," a mystic Doctor of the Church who is the patron saint of the sick, headaches, orphans, and lacemakers, and who devoted herself to monastic reform.✧*。 † Saint Teresa of Jesus (Saint Teresa of Avila) † (Teresia Abulensis) Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) was born into a devout Catholic family in Spain and grew up with a strong love for God from a young age. As a girl, she longed for martyrdom, and there is a heartwarming anecdote that she ran away from home with her brother, saying, "Let's go to Africa to go to heaven." She later entered a convent, but her initial monastic life was materially comfortable, and she struggled spiritually. However, in prayer, she was deeply moved by the cross of Christ and gradually experienced true conversion. Seeking a deep union with God, she began a reform movement that emphasized a strict life. She endured many difficulties and misunderstandings, and reformed the Carmelite Order, establishing the "Discalced Carmelites." Her spirit of valuing prayer and silence is still passed down in many monasteries. Her letters and writings, written through dialogue with God, are read worldwide as spiritual guides, and she was the first woman to be named a "Doctor of the Church." Saint Teresa of Avila was a woman who entrusted everything to God with deep prayer, faith, and gentle humor. Her medal necklace will be a charm that stays close to those who seek hope in God's love even in times of hardship and seek peace of mind. Saint Teresa's way of life still teaches us the "depth of God's love."
