Albert of Sicily Window Carmelite Monastery Boxmeer, The Netherlands
Full Window Albert was born in Trapani, Sicily around 1212 and joined the Carmelites at an early age. In his life, written soon after his death, it is claimed that he was a very holy man and that his intercession saved the city of Messina from famine during a siege. After his death, probably on August 7, 1307, many sick people were cured after drinking water that had been blessed by contact with a relic of Albert. This devotion, St. Albert's Water, is still popular today. Albert was canonized in 1476.

Lower Section "Albert- an Anagram- three times pure or the life which inspires. He was not just once pure: but why is he called three times pure? He who was chaste and never had deceit in his mouth, He was pure while he was young, as an adult, and in his older years; So he rejoiced in these purities, and thus through this came the life that inspires. 1684"
