August 1 to 31 Dramatization of the friendship of Teresa de Jesús and Juan de la Cruz in Caravaca
Teresa y Juan, una Mística Amistad at the convent or monastery of San José in Caravaca de la Cruz
During August 2024 the former convent or monastery of San José in Caravaca de la Cruz is hosting a semi-comic theatrical representation of the friendship between two of the pivotal figures in the history and religious devotion of the city, Santa Teresa de Jesús and San Juan de la Cruz, under the title of “Teresa y Juan, una Mística Amistad”.
This is the latest in a long list of “Jubilee Experiences” which coincide with the Holy Jubilee Year of Caravaca in 2024.
Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda Dávila y Ahumada, to give her full name, was born in 1515 and was a Carmelite nun and a tireless mystic and religious reformer, inspiring the foundation of numerous religious institutions throughout Spain, including one in Caravaca in 1576. Her autobiography is an explanation of her mystical experiences and the journey of her soul to God, and she was canonized in 1622, forty years after her death.
She co-founded the Order of the Discalced (or Barefoot) Carmelites with Juan de la Cruz (1542-91), and the two maintained a deep and lasting friendship throughout their years of activity.
“Teresa y Juan, una Mística Amistad” can be seen throughout August at the Convento de San José on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 22.00. Tickets can be purchased at 10 euros for adults, 6 euros for under-18s and 5 euros for children aged 3 to 5 at Nueva Joyería in Calle Mayor, by WhatsApp on 622 598826 or by email at nico.zadra.1986@gmail.com. Any extra seats will be available at the Convento for 10 euros on the day.
Further information about Caravaca and the Holy Jubilee Year in 2024 is available from the tourist office (Plaza de España, 7, telephone 968 702424, email turismo@caravacadelacruz.es).
