Since August 2022, the Discalced Carmelite Order has been studying and preparing projects regarding the re-opening of St. Teresa\u2019s tomb in Alba de Tormes.\u00a0 Her tomb has not been opened since 1914 and it is now hoped to undertake serious research on the body of the Saint and on some principal relics.<\/p>\n

The General Curia of the Order has approved the proposed plan, appreciating the importance and necessity of undertaking the project. Those responsible for it are a team of doctors and scientists who will work in collaboration with the Vatican Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.\u00a0 For its part, the Order is studying all the existing documentation in our archives that has any reference to the tomb or relics of our Holy Mother, particularly in the Discalced Carmelite monastery of our Nuns in Alba de Tormes.<\/p>\n

A possible time frame will be established after summer 2024, depending on the availability of the scientific team and other personnel involved.\u00a0 The project of expected identification foresees various canonical stages and will allow for the veneration of the tomb of St. Teresa during 2025.<\/p>\n
