Marian Devotion: Scapulas

Our Queen - Our Mother - with Paul Elarde

You may have seen some Catholics wear brown or green patches of fabric attached to cords around their necks – called “Scapulas”. What are Scapulas, and where do they come from?

In this episode of Our Queen, Our Mother: Paul continues his exploration of Marian devotions, this time exploring what the Church really teaches on images and sacramentals – and in particular the tradition of the Green and Brown Scapulars.
