Following the Reconquest of Toledo in 1085 by Alfonso VI, a policy of repopulation was undertaken to shore up the Kingdom of Castile, which was still vulnerable. The rise of Segovia, Ávila, and Salamanca during the Middle Ages stemmed from this strategic plan. Ávila alone has kept its surrounding walls, which in part date back to 1090, while the greater part appear to have been rebuilt during the 12th century. The intra-muros town and the walls that surround it, as well as the other component parts, show the magnificence of the medieval city, reflected in the Romanesque style of the churches, and expressing the Golden Age of Ávila in the architecture of convents and monasteries.
Santa Teresa de Jesús, also called Saint Teresa of Ávila, original name Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada, was born on March 28, 1515, in Ávila and died on October 4, 1582, in Alba de Tormes. Santa Teresa de Jesús was canonized in 1622, being one of the great mystics and religious women of the Roman Catholic Church, and author of spiritual classics. She was the originator of the Carmelite Reform and elevated to doctor of the church in 1970 by Pope Paul VI, the first woman to be so honoured.

Vatican considers naming St. Juan of Avila Doctor of the Church
May 4, 2011. (Romereports.com). Benedict XVI could appoint a new Doctor of the Church during World Youth Day in Madrid. According to the French Agency, I-Media, San Juan de Avila, considered one of the most influential Spanish saints from the XVI century, could soon be appointed.
The title is given to certain saints to recognize them for their contribution to theology. Currently there are 33.
Members of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints are exploring this possibility. But it must also be approved by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith.
San Juan de Ávila, was born in Almodóvar del Campo, near Toledo (Spain) in 1500 and died in 1569. He's known as the Apostle of Andalusia because he evangelized in the region. He was a strong advocate for the reform of the clergy and his writings were very influential in the Council of Trent.
He was a friend of San Juan de la Cruz and a spiritual adviser to St. Teresa of Avila. He's the patron of Spanish Clergy. His feast is celebrated on May 10.
Avila, City Center - Spain 4K Travel Channel
In the center of Avila, you will inevitably encounter the Plaza del Mercado Chico and the Cathedral.
Avila was continuously inhabited since the Roman Age. Presumably, the Plaza del Mercado Chico, the central square of the city, is located at a crossroads of two Roman roads. In the Middle Ages, various guilds gathered around the square. The center of the arcaded square is the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). Neoclassical architecture characterizes the overall picture.
Opposite the city hall is the church Iglesia de San Juan Bautista. The name of the square has a long tradition. Although it was originally called Plaza del Mercado Chico, it experienced some changes of its name within the last two centuries, until it got its original name again in 2001.
On our first visit, we experience the place somewhat united. For this, a pastry shop attracts our eyes. It offers a highly acclaimed specialty of Avila: The Yemas of Avila or Yemas de Santa Teresa after the saint Teresa . Teresa was born in Avila and as one says, she was not averse to a good meal.
This delicacy is known throughout Spain and is taken along with pleasure as a souvenir. The Yemas consist of egg yolk which is baked mixed with a syrup of lemon juice and cinnamon.
On our second visit, the impression of the deserted square is completely disapeared. It is market day and a great variety of fresh products is available. Among other things, there are fruits, vegetables, cheeses, meat and sausage products. But also plants for the house and the garden. The buyers queue patiently in front of the market stalls. Every now and then they find time for a little chat.
We leave the bustling activities and go further on to the Plaza de la Catedral.
The Cathedral of Avila (Catedral del Salvador) is considered the first Gothic cathedral in Spain. It was designed as a fortress cathedral and stands on the remains of the Church of the Savior (Salvador). The eastern apse is part of the Romanesque wall and thus part of the fortifications of the city.

Im Zentrum von Avila trifft man unweigerlich auf die Plaza del Mercado Chico und die Kathedrale.
Avila war seit der Römerzeit ununterbrochen besiedelt. Vermutlich liegt die Plaza del Mercado Chico, der zentrale Platz der Stadt, an einer Wegkreuzung zweier römischer Straßen. Im Mittelalter sammelten sich um den Platz herum verschiedene Zünfte. Das Zentrum des mit Arkaden gesäumten Platzes bildet das Rathaus (Ayuntamiento).
Der Neoklassizistische Bau prägt das Gesamtbild. Dem Rathaus gegenüber liegt die Kirche Iglesia de San Juan Bautista. Der Name des Platzes hat eine lange Tradition. Obwohl er ursprünglich schon Plaza del Mercado Chico genannt wurde, erlebte er in den letzten beiden Jahrhunderten einige Namenswechsel, bis er 2001 wieder seinen ursprünglichen Namen erhielt.
Bei unserem ersten Besuch erleben wir den Platz etwas verwaist. Dafür sticht uns sofort eine Konditorei ins Auge, die Avilas hochgelobte Spezialität anbietet: Yemas von Avila oder auch Yemas de Santa Teresa, nach der Heiligen Teresa. Sie wurde in Avila geboren und wie man sagt, war sie einem guten Essen nicht abgeneigt.
Diese Yemas de Avila sind über die Grenzen Spaniens bekannt und werden gerne als Souvenir mitgenommen. Sie bestehen aus Eigelb, dass vermischt mit einem Sirup aus Zitronensaft und Zimt gebacken wird.
Der Eindruck des einsamen Platzes ist bei unserem zweiten Besuch gänzlich unterschiedlich. Es ist Markttag und das Angebot an frischer Ware ist groß. Unter anderem gibt es Obst, Gemüse, Käse, Fleisch- und Wurstprodukte. Aber auch Pflanzen für das Haus und den Garten. Geduldig warten die Besucher vor den Ständen. Hin und wieder hat man auch Zeit für einen Plausch.
Wir verlassen das geschäftige Treiben und gehen weiter zur Plaza de la Catedral.
Die Kathedrale von Avila (Catedral del Salvador) gilt als die erste gotische Kathedrale in Spanien. Sie war als Festungs-Kathedrale geplant und steht auf den Überresten der Kirche des Erlösers (Salvador). Die östliche Apsis ist Teil der romanischen Stadtmauer und somit Teil der Befestigungsanlagen der Stadt.

VIVA SAN PASCUAL BAYLON MAY 17 FIESTA SAPA LIBUTAD amanuningbie.com
May 17, St. Paschal Baylon (1540-1592)
In Paschal's lifetime the Spanish empire in the New World was at the height of its power, though France and England were soon to reduce its influence. The 16th century has been called the Golden Age of the Church in Spain, for it gave birth to Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Peter of Alcantara, Francis Solano and Salvator of Horta.
Paschal's Spanish parents were poor and pious. Between the ages of seven and 24 he worked as a shepherd and began a life of mortification. He was able to pray on the job and was especially attentive to the church bell which rang at the Elevation during Mass. Paschal had a very honest streak in him. He once offered to pay owners of crops for any damage his animals caused!
In 1564, Paschal joined the Friars Minor and gave himself wholeheartedly to a life of penance. Though he was urged to study for the priesthood, he chose to be a brother. At various times he served as porter, cook, gardener and official beggar.
Paschal was careful to observe the vow of poverty. He would never waste any food or anything given for the use of the friars. When he was porter and took care of the poor coming to the door, he developed a reputation for great generosity. The friars sometimes tried to moderate his liberality!
Paschal spent his spare moments praying before the Blessed Sacrament. In time many people sought his wise counsel. People flocked to his tomb immediately after his burial; miracles were reported promptly. Paschal was canonized in 1690 and was named patron of eucharistic congresses and societies in 1897.
Comment: Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament occupied much of St. Francis' energy. Most of his letters were to promote devotion to the Eucharist. Paschal shared that concern. An hour in prayer before our Lord in the Eucharist could teach all of us a great deal. Some holy and busy Catholics today find that their work is enriched by those minutes regularly spent in prayer and meditation.
Quote: Meditate well on this: Seek God above all things. It is right for you to seek God before and above everything else, because the majesty of God wishes you to receive what you ask for. This will also make you more ready to serve God and will enable you to love him more perfectly (St. Paschal).

SUPERMAN Lyrics by FIVE FOR FIGHTING
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd...but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Inside me
Inside of me
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for a dream
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it's not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
It's not easy to be me

Kendog Heart of Mary Pilgrimage 5 -14 -19
This morning I woke up early to have my luggage out the door on time. I was thrilled to go to our next city and see the walled city of Avila. I have to admit that I didn’t know much about St Teresa of Avila, but was sure I would be filled in on her life by our guides as well as Deacon Bob. I enjoyed the bus ride out of Portugal and into Spain because of the many shapes of familiar objects. My eyes exploded when I saw a white stork perch on an electrical wire tower and found many more along the way on different things because their nests are so enormous and reminded me of an Eagle’ nest. Upon arriving at Avila, the medieval city wall didn’t disappoint as I felt being back in time, and images of people living their lives rush through my head. Our first stop was the Convent museum of St Teresa of Avila became a nun. A plaque also shows that Pope Hohn-Pual II also visited this convent and has a chair in the museum area with his motto embroidered into the papal chair – Totus Tuus. In a monstrance type container was the original drawing of St John of the Cross drawing of the vision/dream he had somewhere between 1574 – 1577. Another mystic of the Catholic Church that has a long interesting background. The convent was outside the walled city, and our bus was too large to go through the gate so we were dropped off as near as the driver could and walked to the walled city. Once inside the walled city, I had to marvel at the doors and the knockers and keyholes that were used in this period. Our next stop was the Church of San Juan Bautista where St. Teresa of Avila was baptized. Walking the narrow cobblestone streets, we came upon the Covent of Santa Teresa de Jesus that was her birthplace and in the basement had a museum. Outside the church, was a monument state of St Teresa of Avila where we took a group photo. Our guide next took us through another gate, and we walked the Paseo Rastra or the path on the outside of the wall and took in the monuments and scale of the walled city. After a short wall outside the walled city, we came back in and walked to the Catedral of the Saviour / Catedral of Avila, and I was blown away by its enormous size and beautiful artwork that was a fortress in a way that it is connected to the wall. The time was getting late as we were led across the courtyard to our hotel to freshen up before dinner. An evening walks to enjoy the atmosphere of the city as the walls and churches were all lit up with glowing, radiant lights that gave it a holy crusader ambiance about it. As we walked outside the gate, we came upon a band practicing, and I was intrigued by the horn players by the way they adjusted the pitch as they played. A few of us carried on as we walked around the city and crossed a bridge and ended up at the Cuatro Postes. This is a monument that commemorated St Teresa of Avila, when she was seven years old, convinced her brother to run away with her to die as martyrs in the land of the Moors. Their uncle caught them at this sight and brought them home. From this site at night was overwhelmingly beautiful as I pictured the lights as torches as it brought me back in time. We stopped at a bridge as we made our way back and looked in the river to see if any fish swimming.
Ex Convento de San Juan Bautista Cuautinchan 1569, Puebla 8/22/2018
Ex Convento de San Juan Bautista Cuautinchan 1569, Puebla 8/22/2018
EX CONVENTO EN CUAUTINCHAN - Visita el Ex Convento de San Juan Bautista. Es, en definitiva, el símbolo más representativo de Cuautinchán. Junto con los conventos de Tepeaca y Tecali de Herrera, forman el Triángulo de Oro de conventos del siglo XVI.
Cuautinchan (Cwow-teen-chan means place where the eagles nest). Chan means place or casa in Nahuatl as in Let's go to my chante. If you don't know this term, ask your grandparents. If they know, they still speak the ancient language. This ancient place is now a small town outside of Puebla which dates back to the 12th Century (1100 A.D.). Betty MartinezI my grandson Rudy Dominguez and I went there to visit the ex convento of San Juan Bautista and found it was closed because of earthquake damage a year ago. A convento was a fort and church. The Spanish conquered with the sword and the cross. I asked our taxi driver to go to the village and find the caretaker who soon came and opened the doors for us and gave us a tour. His name is Pedro Torixa Bonillo, and he is the Cronista de Cuautinchan, the caretaker and historian of the temple.
The Spanish built the convento dedicated to San Juan Bautista in about 1569, 48 years after Cortez arrived at Veracruz to invade the Aztec empire in 1521. The retablo, the wood alter dedicated to the Immaculate Conception is believed to be the oldest in Mexico, and possibly the oldest retablo altar in all Latin America!
The Spanish Conquistadors destroyed all documents, libraries, temples, religious places and indigenous priests in Mezoamerica since they believed these cultures were worthless devil worshipers. Then, the Spanish Priests spent many generations Hispanicizing and educating some of the royal indigenous people and had them create history books in Spanish (one book is called a Codex, plural is codices). These books told the stories about their origins, gods and beliefs. The Spanish priests wanted to understand the native cultures so they could Hispanicize the indigenous people using this knowledge to OVERLAY Hispanic culture, religion and thinking using and replacing ideas from the native beliefs.
Another type of document the priests had indiginous people create, were called mapas. These documents combined the geography of a place, the history of the cultures found there and stories about the gods and battles different group fought to rule each region. These codices and mapas are studied closely today to seek accurate meaning on both sides. The Spanish and indigenous minds were worlds apart. One example In the video shows a lion drawn on a wall by a native artist based on a description by a Spaniard. The lion looks more like a bear and has 4 eagle claws for feet; an easy mistake to make since they had never seen a lion.
There were about 4 to 6 mapas telling the 400 year history of the fertile Puebla Valley. The 2nd. of the mapas, La Mapa de Cuautinchan (Cwow-teen-chan) is called MC2 and is the size of a tablecloth. It was kept in the San Juan Bautista convento since it's creation in the 16th Century (1500's). In the 1930's, MC2 was taken from the exconvento to a museum in Puebla. Read more about La Mapa de Cuautinchan, MC2 on the Internet and see videos on You Tube. Also learn more about one of the greatest authorities about MC2, Dr. David Carrasco, a Mexican American from Tejas, who is a Professor of Divinity at Harvard.
I was curious about MC2 because it tells the story of many complicated cultures of Mesoamerica that came to the Puebla Valley. It also shows how cities were built exactly aligned with volcano and mountains to map the stars and planets and their movements. They built their temples near Cuautinchan so the Sun's light would shine directly on their alters at the summer and fall equinox.
As the great Teotihuacan culture that built the giant Sun and Moon temples from 600 B.C. to about 700 AD, began to decline, they did not disappear. They abandoned the site and some of them came to the Cuautinchan region. In the 1100's, the Olmeca people came to make war with the Toltecs who controlled Cholula. The Toltecs went out and brought Chichimeca mercenaries to fight the Olmecs for them. They defeated the Olmec group and as a reward from the Toltecs, the Chichimeca were allowed to colonize the place they called, Cuauhtinchan (Cwow-teen-chan), place where the eagles nest. By the 1500's the Mexica / Azteca were ruling and still adding buildings at the base of the great Temple of Cholula.
Now you know the story of your ancient chante...

PLAZA DE SANTA TERESA, ÁVILA
PLAZA DE SANTA TERESA, ÁVILA
Cuando te pilla un buen día, la plaza de santa Teresa, la de soportales, la que está dando fachada a la iglesia románica de san Pedro Apóstol, la del edificio Moneo, la que sale por las Concepcionistas y la Catedral, o te encamina a san José, la plaza, digo, reúne a la gente. Un buen día en Ávila es frío, o nieve, o cuando sopla frío el viento, o cuando te asiste un día calmo de primavera.
Y te fijas en el monumento a la Santa, que mira para la muralla, para la ciudad más cerrada. Te fijas y lees, hasta que digas: falta un santo franciscano, san Pedro Bautista, el protomártir de Japón, el nacido en san Esteban del Valle.
Pero, disfruta de las vistas, de la calma, del frío, de la sonoridad de un café sentado, con turistas de muchos países, y de la portada románica de la iglesia de san Pedro.
En otro momento, baja al parque de san Antonio, a su parroquia, al convento. Y fíjate en la Capilla de la Virgen de la Portería, y en el monumento a san Pedro Bautista, en el parque, entre los estorninos, los árboles y la sierpe. El monumento es obra de Ricardo Font, el mismo que ejecutó el que hay erigido en Fontiveros a san Juan de la Cruz.
Hay que completar la lista de los santos y beatos de Ávila.

san juan de baños
El grupo de Facebook Amigos de la Flora y de su entorno
sigue trabajando duro para ofreceros nuevas imágenes y para crear nuevos artículos que tengan que ver con el tema para el que se creó.
Por este motivo No vamos a orientar nuestro artículo y vídeo de hoy hacia la arquitectura sino que vamos a tratar el tema de la medicina natural.
Hablaremos de la forma en que determinados lugareños de determinados sitios aprovechaban los elementos del entorno natural para lograr una curación ó una mejoría en determinadas afecciones.
La basílica de san Juan de Baños se sitúa en un paraje precioso, muy especial y simbólico.
Fue declarada patrimonio Nacional en 1897.
Dicen los historiadores que el rey Recesvinto mandó construir esta basílica en el siglo VII (año 661) en honor a su milagrosa curación que se produjo tras beber el agua de la fuente medicinal.
La Basílica se consagró dedicada a San Juan Bautista, casualidades de la vida...San Juan Bautista fue el que bautizó a Cristo.
Como veréis existe cierta simbología en torno al agua purificador.
La Basílica Es una joya en todos los sentidos y merece la pena ser ampliamente estudiada.
Algunas fuentes hablan de que este rey tras su lucha contra las tribus vasconas; comenzó a tener serios problemas de riñón que le generaban unos dolores infernales.
(Para que en tiempos posteriores hayamos podido conocer de qué pie cojeaba la salud de Recesvinto quiere decir que por aquellos tiempos ya pudo ser de alguna manera diagnosticado ó por lo menos pudieron describir con buen detalle la sintomatología.)
Encontró en su camino hacia vaya usted a saber dónde una fuente de la que se decía que era medicinal y bebió de ella.
El rey pronto se recuperó de sus dolores.
En agradecimiento a esta magnífica y milagrosa curación mandó construir la que actualmente se conoce como Basílica De San Juan De Baños.
Introduciéndonos más en el contexto histórico de este paraje encontramos que ya en tiempos romanos existió en este mismo lugar unas termas romanas.
Las excavaciones numerosas realizadas indican que ya existía en tiempos romanos conocimiento de que estas aguas eran medicinales y que por lo tanto tenían propiedades curativas.
En tiempos de recesvinto los lugareños también se habían dado cuenta de las propiedades curativas de este agua.
En torno a este agua medicinal, a estos montes cargados de hierbas medicinales, estas tierras cuya composición era adecuada para diferentes utilidades en medicina natural surgió un grupo de entendidos que pudieron comprometerse a sanar ó al menos aliviar al rey y por lo que veo dieron en el clavo y éste Consagró la Basílica en agradecimiento a su curación.
Si pensamos bien en la situación.
Ya tenían que saber mucho aquellos lugareños para que una persona de tal talla histórica se pusiera en manos de ellos.
Fruto de este pensamiento nace una pregunta que lleva en mi cabeza desde que he visitado de nuevo la Basílica.
¿De qué tipo de medicina natural estamos hablando? ¿existía una escuela que sentó cátedra? ¿porqué no se transmitieron estos conocimientos?
No se muy bien cual de las teorías es más fiable.
Lo que sí que es completamente cierto es que los romanos ya utilizaban este agua como agua medicinal y que en tiempos de recesvinto se seguía utilizando como tal.
Sabemos que pasaron por aquí diversos pueblos y lograron ver cosas positivas en este agua.
En la actualidad no se recomienda su consumo, quizás las exigencias actuales en cuanto a higiene y cualidades organolépticas y de composición son mayores a las de aquellos tiempos.
Sea lo que sea esta Basílica es de visita obligada y recomendada.
Pasear entre los árboles de la fuente es algo muy especial.
No se qué tiene este sitio pero atrae.
Entrar en la basílica te da paz, te hace sentir extrañamente yo diría místicamente armonioso.
Puedes imaginarte las historias que han sucedido en este lugar durante miles de años...
Y me pregunto...
¿Por qué se ha olvidado aquella medicina que curó monarcas?
