St. Teresa of Avila, Virgin
The seraphic St. Teresa, born at Avila (Spain) at the age of 18 entered the convent of St. Mary of Mount Carmel. As the Reformer of the Carmelites, she re-established the primitive observance of their ancient Rule. On account of her invaluable works on mystical Theology, she may be considered one of the greatest Doctors of the Church. She died in 1582.

Born at Avila at the age of 18 huh? That's odd.
Perhaps a comma after '(Spain)' would have been a good idea.
Why not? Buddha was born at the age of 30.
