Brown, Red and Green Scapular Set. The 3 most well known Scapulars within the Church, each with many different graces and devotions attached. THE RED SCAPULAR OF THE PASSION; In 1846, a nun of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, named Sister Apolline, received two apparitions of Jesus in which she received the red scapular. The front of the scapular showed Christ on the Cross and contained the words "Holy Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ save us." The back held images of the sacred hearts of Jesus and Mary being adored by angels. It read "Sacred hearts of Jesus and Mary protect us." Pope Pius IX gave approval to a new red scapular, to be known as the Scapular of the Passion of Our Lord and the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary The red scapular is also a source of spiritual protection. According to Sister Apolline, the Scapular of the Passion "will prove to us a strong armor against infernal assaults, an impenetrable shield against the arrows of our spiritual enemies." Finally, Jesus also promised that whoever wears this scapular with faith and devotion will receive great increases of faith, hope, and charity every Friday. THE GREEN SCAPULAR; FOR CURES AND CONVERSIONS The Green Scapular, called by Our Lady, "The Badge of the Immaculate Heart of Mary," was given to the world by the Blessed Virgin Mary through a series of apparitions to Sister Justine Bisqueyburo, a Daughter of Charity, in the early 1840's in Paris, France. On the Feast of the Nativity of Mary, Sept. 8th, 1840, the Mother of God appeared holding in her right hand her Immaculate Heart, mounted by flames and holding in her other hand a scapular. The scapular consisted of a simple piece of green cloth, rectangular in shape, hanging from a green string.
