Our Lady of Mount Carmel:
Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and it is closely associated with the Carmelite Order, a Roman Catholic religious order founded in the 12th century. The history of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is deeply intertwined with the history of the Carmelite Order.

The origins of the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel can be traced back to the Holy Land in the 12th century. A group of Christian hermits and monks settled on Mount Carmel, near Haifa in present-day Israel. These hermits dedicated their lives to contemplative prayer and sought to live in imitation of the Prophet Elijah, who was traditionally believed to have lived on Mount Carmel. They constructed a chapel in honor of the Virgin Mary, and their devotion to her grew over time.

The Carmelites developed a deep devotion to Mary under the title "Our Lady of Mount Carmel." They believed that Mary was their spiritual mother and protector. This devotion spread throughout the Catholic Church, and the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel became one of its most recognizable symbols. The scapular is a sacramental worn by laypeople and religious as a sign of their devotion to Mary and their affiliation with the Carmelite Order.
