WHAT DOES SCAPULAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

scapular

Scapular

The term scapular as used today refers to two distinct, yet related, Christian garments, namely the monastic and devotional scapulars, although both forms may simply be referred to as "scapular". As an object of popular piety, it serves to remind the wearer of their commitment to live a Christian life. The "monastic scapular" appeared first, perhaps as early as the 7th century in the Order of Saint Benedict. It is a somewhat large length of cloth suspended both front and back from the shoulders of the wearer, often reaching to the knees. It may vary in shape, color, size and style. Monastic scapulars originated as aprons worn by medieval monks, and were later extended to habits for members of religious organizations, orders or confraternities. Monastic scapulars now form part of the habit of monks and nuns in many Christian orders. The "devotional scapular" is a much smaller item and evolved from the monastic scapular. These may also be worn by individuals who are not members of a monastic order, the Anglican Communion considers them sacramentals.
