Blessed Virgin Mary of Carmel

The liturgical feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Carmel, by popular tradition also known as the feast of the Madonna del Carmine, is another way in which the Catholic Church worships Mary.

This anniversary was instituted to commemorate the apparition of the Madonna to San Simone Stock, which took place on 16 July 1251, during which the Virgin Mary handed over to the religious a scapular, which was the first habit of the Carmelites, in reality it is also known as they live, as it is a reduced reproduction of the habit that distinguishes the Order.


On that occasion the Madonna revealed the considerable privileges that would result from wearing it with devotion.

Simone Stock was at that time the prior general of the Carmelite monastery, which rose on Mount Carmel in the twelfth century.

The peculiarity of Mount Carmel is also described in the Bible in some passages, on the top of this mountain the prophet Elijah defeated the priests of Baal, it was here that, according to tradition, the Holy Family stopped by returning from Egypt.
