Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a title given to the Virgin Mary, closely associated with the Carmelite Order, which originated on Mount Carmel in present-day Israel. This devotion is rooted in the spiritual legacy of the Prophet Elijah, who lived and prayed on Mount Carmel and inspired early Christian hermits to settle there.
Origins and Devotion
The Brown Scapular
A key moment in this devotion is the apparition to St. Simon Stock, an English Carmelite in the 13th century. According to tradition, Mary appeared to him and gave him the Brown Scapular, a small garment symbolizing her protection and a call to live a life of faith and prayer.
