The Scapular Medal is a Catholic devotional medal that depicts Our Lady of Mount Carmel on one side and the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the other. It was authorized by Pope Saint Pius X in 1910 as a permissible substitute for wearing the traditional cloth Brown Scapular. To receive the spiritual graces associated with the Brown Scapular, the wearer must first be enrolled by a priest. What is the difference between a scapular medal and a Miraculous Medal? Both are Catholic devotional medals but honor different devotions. The Miraculous Medal honors the Immaculate Conception (revealed to Saint Catherine Labouré in 1830). The Scapular Medal honors Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Sacred Heart, tied to the Carmelite tradition and the Brown Scapular promise. What chain length works best with this 15mm pendant? The 7mm bail fits standard 16- to 22-inch chains. For adult women, 18 inches is the most versatile gift length. For men, 20- to 22-inch chains sit naturally at mid-chest.
