Brown Scapular

Traditional Carmel Scapular made of wool, measuring 4.5cm x 5cm for each of the two tabs, with the overall length being 37cm.

In the year 1251, in the town of Aylesford in England, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite. She handed him a brown woolen scapular and said, “This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire.” In time, the Church extended this magnificent privilege to all the laity who are willing to be invested in the Brown Scapular of the Carmelites and who perpetually wear it.

It is a sign of our love for the Blessed Mother and shows we are numbered amongst those who are willing to serve her Son, with her assistance.
