Sketches of St. Therese entering Lisieux Carmel on April 9, 1888 - from the Web site of the Archives of the Carmel of Lisieux
After I published the photo essay of St. Therese entering Carmel, I discovered at the Web site of the Archives of the Carmel of Lisieux the section "St. Therese's Life in Pictures" (103 documents, many never published before, depicting sixty scenes in Therese's life). I post below several sketches of Therese's entrance day. At the Archives site the images are a little bigger and are accompanied by text from Therese and some details; to visit them there, please click on the images below.
