Anne of Saint Bartholomew (Spanish: Ana de San Bartolomé; 1 October 1550 – 7 June 1626) - born Ana García Manzanas - was a Spanish Discalced Carmelite. She was a companion to Saint Teresa of Ávila and led the establishment of new monasteries of in France and the Lowlands.[1][2] Anne sometimes struggled with her superiors as she set about setting new convents and holding her position as a prioress while later settling in the Spanish Netherlands where she opened a house and remained there until she later died. She was a close friend and aide to Saint Teresa of Ávila and the saint died in her arms in 1582.[3]
Her heroic virtue received confirmation from Pope Clement XII on 29 June 1735 who titled her as Venerable while Pope Benedict XV beatified her on 6 May 1917.[4]
