Carmel There is a tradition–which may not be historical —that Mary appeared to Saint , a leader of the Carmelites, and gave him a scapular, telling him to promote devotion to it. The scapular is a modified version of Mary’s own garment. It symbolizes her special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way. The scapular reminds us of the gospel’s call to prayer and penance—a call that Mary models in a splendid way.
