Description
The Scapular: A History and its Significance The Scapular has its roots in the Order of Carmelites, which was founded over nine hundred years ago. According to tradition, this ancient order was established by the prophet Elias, who received divine inspiration to create a community dedicated to the honour and service of the Virgin Mary. Elias's vision on Mount Carmel is said to have foretold the coming of the Messias, and he subsequently founded a religious congregation to be dedicated to the sacred Virgin. This order has been an important part of Catholic tradition ever since. This book explores the history of the Scapular and its significance in the Catholic faith, shedding light on its origins and enduring importance.
