Hello, there! It's Katie! This picture is a scapular. Loads of people have no idea what a scapular is. In fact, I didn't even know what it was until I found one and my mother bought it for me. The picture is a photo of mine. But our question...WHAT IS A SCAPULAR?

This website is the one I used to find out what it was. If you have questions I don't answer about the brown scapular, go to this website.
The Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is the most common and most favored by the Church.
Who is Our Lady of Mount Carmel?
Our Lady of Mount Carmel is, well, the Blessed Virgin Mary. This title was given to her because she is the patroness of the Carmelites. The first Carmelites lived on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land. The men up there were mountains. They built a chapel and called it "Our Lady of the Place."Are there promises to wearing the scapular?
Yes! The promises are...
- Whoever dies wearing the scapular won't suffer eternal fire.
- “Wear the Scapular devoutly and perseveringly. It is my garment. To be clothed in it means you are continually thinking of me, and I in turn, am always thinking of you and helping you to secure eternal life.” Mary said.
MIRACLES!
Yes, there were miracles! Here they are...
- In May 1957, in Westenboden, Germany, a row of houses caught on fire. The people in one of the houses put a scapular on their front door. Lots of houses went down. But even though houses went down, the house with the scapular still stood.
- In November of 1955, a plane crashed in Guatemala. All the passengers died except for one young girl who was holding her scapular and calling for Our Lady.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
PRAY FOR US!
