Saint Angelus (Italian: Sant'Angelo) (1185 - 1220), a saint and martyr from the Holy Land, was born in Jerusalem to a Jewish family. His mother, however, converted to Christianity, and Angelus, along with his twin brother, John, were baptised when she converted. His parents died while he was young, and he and his twin brother entered the Carmelite Order at the age of eighteen. They already spoke Greek, Latin, and Hebrew. He went to Sicily, and his fame as a miracle-worker caused crowds to come to him.
