Description

The Brown Scapular is basically a small replica of a religious article of clothing and has been worn by people of all denominations for centuries. It consists of two pieces of cloth (usually wool) connected together with string. When worn, the string rests on the shoulders and each part of the scapular rests on the front and back of you (about mid chest and mid back). Many amazing, unexplainable miracles have occurred through the Brown Scapular throughout history as we will see below.

The Brown Scapular was first heard of through several appearances of the Virgin Mary over the centuries. The Brown Scapular was first learned of through an appearance of the Virgin Mary to St. Simon Stock in Cambridge, England in 1251.

The most well known appearances of the Virgin Mary occurred multiple times in Fatima, Portugal in 1917, where the Virgin Mary appeared to three children and gave them a message to give to the people of the world. In that message she recommended that people wear the Brown Scapular as a means of special protection. Since people would most likely not believe the children regarding these appearances, the Virgin Mary promised to perform a public miracle as proof. At her final appearance to the children in October 1917, over 70,000 people gathered at the site of the appearances in expectation of the miracle the children mentioned she would perform. That afternoon, an unexplainable miracle of the sun was experienced by over 70,000 people. This was printed in Fatima newspapers the following day and gave credence to the message the Virgin Mary gave to the three children. These appearances are very well documented should anyone like to read the incredible interviews with the people who were there. Newspaper articles and accounts from some of the people there the day of the miracle can be seen here. These appearances at Fatima and several other apparitions of the Virgin Mary have also been approved as authentic by the Church in Rome after thorough investigations. Many past Popes (such as Pope Pius XII) have also approved of the authenticity of the appearances and have publicly encouraged all to wear the Brown Scapular for extra protection as the Virgin Mary had requested .
