Thousands flocked to Alba de Tormes, Spain, to view the remains of Saint Teresa of Ávila, displayed for two weeks. The 16th-century saint's skull, dressed in a habit, was the focal point, drawing nearly 100,000 visitors. Her remains, last publicly displayed in 1914, were resealed and returned to their resting place, leaving uncertainty about when they'll be viewed again. Visitors expressed joy, sadness, and awe, highlighting the saint's enduring legacy and influence on spirituality.
