<P> Since the 15th century, popular devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel has centered on the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, also known as the Brown Scapular, a sacramental associated with promises of Mary's special aid for the salvation of the devoted wearer . Traditionally, Mary is said to have given the Scapular to an early Carmelite named Saint Simon Stock . The liturgical feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is celebrated on 16 July . </P> <P> The solemn liturgical feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was probably first celebrated in England in the later part of the 14th century . Its object was thanksgiving to Mary, the patroness of the Carmelite Order, for the benefits she had accorded to it through its difficult early years . The institution of the feast may have come in the wake of the vindication of their title "Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary" at Cambridge, England in 1374 . The date chosen was 17 July; on the European mainland this date conflicted with the feast of St. Alexis, requiring a shift to 16 July, which remains the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel throughout the Catholic Church . The Latin poem "Flos Carmeli" (meaning "Flower of Carmel") first appears as the sequence for this Mass . </P> <P> The Carmelite Order was the only religious order to be started in the Crusader States . In the 13th century, some of its people migrated west to England, setting up a chapter and being documented there about 1241 - 1242 . A tradition first attested to in the late 14th century says that Saint Simon Stock, believed to be an early English prior general of the Carmelite Order soon after its migration to England, had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary in which she gave him the Brown Scapular . This formed part of the Carmelite habit after 1287 . In Stock's vision, Mary promised that those who died wearing the scapular would be saved . </P> <P> The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is known to many Catholic faithful as the "scapular feast," associated with the Brown Scapular of the Carmelite order . This is a devotional sacramental signifying the wearer's consecration to Mary and affiliation with the Carmelite order . </P>
