Body of St. Teresa of Ávila During Public Exposition

[Denise]

In February, the body was transferred to a temporary case until it was transferred to the one that contained the saint’s body during the public exposition, which had only previously taken place in 1760, for seven hours, and in 1914, for one day.

an extraordinary saint and Dr of the Church despite no theological training

but so sad to see her skull - face as in the picture in her casket


the forensic reconstruction doesn't resemble much the portrait that was commissioned of her
and that she sat at.
It is said that Teresa hated the portrait but acknowledged it was exactly her
as did others



scientific reconstruction seems different but i guess it would be difficult to estimate how much facial muscle and skin to incorporate

also nose seems different between the portrait and the scientific reconstruction of her face

perhaps a younger Teresa of Avila, in scientific reconstruction
