1. See ch. xxxvii. section 1; where the Saint says that she saw
them in a vision both in Heaven.

2. Alfonso Sanchez de Cepeda, father of the Saint, married first
Catalina del Peso y Henao, and had three children--one daughter,
Maria de Cepeda, and two sons. After the death of Catalina, he
married Beatriz Davila y Ahumada, by whom he had nine
children--seven boys and two girls. The third of these, and the
eldest of the daughters, was the Saint, Dona Teresa Sanchez

Jesus (De la Fuente). The Saint was born March 28, 1515, and
baptized on the 4th of April, in the church of St. John; on which
day Mass was said for the first time in the Monastery of the
Incarnation, where the Saint made her profession. Her godfather
was Vela Nunez, and her godmother Dona Maria del Aguila.
The Bollandists and Father Bouix say that she was baptized on the
very day of her birth. But the testimony of Dona Maria de Pinel,
a nun in the Monastery of the Incarnation, is clear: and Don

martyr, because he died in defence of the Catholic faith (Ribera,
