More About Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Mount Carmel is where the prophet Elijah strived against 450 priests of Baal and was given victory by God over them. (1 Kings 18:19–40).
Hermits lived on Mount Carmel in northern Israel (near modern day Haifa) in the 12th century, where they dedicated a chapel to Our Lady. These became the first Carmelites. Eventually most fled, as Mount Carmel was taken by the Muslims in 1291, and the remaining brothers were killed and the convent burned. The Carmelites are unique in that they view themselves especially as “brothers of Our Lady,” emphasizing their spiritual fraternity with her.
Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock, an early Carmelite, and gave him a brown scapular, representing part of her own garment as a special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way. The scapular reminds us of the gospel call to prayer and penance.
