Teresa, el cuerpo de Cristo (Theresa: The Body of Christ) is a 2007 biopic written and directed by Ray Loriga and starring Paz Vega as the title character, Saint Teresa of Ávila.

The film has been criticised by Spanish bishops for its erotic representation of the saint's visions, exemplified by the poster's depiction of the hand of Christ touching the arm of the naked Teresa.^[1]

The shooting locations include the Ciudad de la Luz in Alicante, Ávila, Portugal, Trujillo, Soria and Segovia.^[2]
