Scapulars: discover their symbolism and meaning

Worn to protect their wearers, scapulars are objects of devotion that have gained a following in the fashion world over the years. Today, many people use them simply as fashion accessories, unaware of their symbolism and special meaning. In this article, we'll delve into this topic and introduce some of the silver scapulars in our collection.

Originating from the Latin word Scapula, meaning "protection," scapulars are protective amulets for those who wear them. According to the story, Mary offered the monk Saint Simon Stock, then leader of the Carmelite Order in need of help protecting himself from his enemies, a scapular with the promise that whoever wore it would be protected from all evil.

From then on, the scapular began to be used as a symbol of physical and spiritual protection. This piece of jewelry, now modernized and used as a fashion accessory, should, according to tradition, be given as a gift by someone special so that it can provide protection to the wearer.
