Our Lady of Mount Carmel bracelet

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Bracelet — Italian Silver-Tone Medal, Medjugorje Handwoven Cord

The Our Lady of Mount Carmel bracelet connects its wearer to one of the oldest and most beloved Marian devotions in the Catholic Church. On July 16, 1251, in Aylesford, England, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, the Carmelite prior, and placed a brown scapular in his hands with words that have shaped Carmelite spirituality ever since: «Whosoever dies wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.» The scapular bracelet is a Church-recognized wearable form of this same devotion — a continuous prayer carried at the wrist throughout the day. Our Lady returned to the scapular promise at Fatima: on October 13, 1917, as 50,000 witnesses watched the Miracle of the Sun, she appeared to the shepherd children holding the Brown Scapular. Mount Carmel itself — the rocky promontory above present-day Haifa, Israel — was where Carmelite hermits built their first chapel in Mary’s honour centuries before the apparition to Simon Stock, calling her «Most Beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven.»

The feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on July 16 ranks among the great summer Marian celebrations across Italy, Spain, Malta, Portugal, and Latin America — making this bracelet essential stock for parish shops ahead of the devotional season. She is also the patroness of sailors and fishermen, extending the bracelet’s reach into coastal and maritime parishes worldwide.

Each Mount Carmel bracelet features a small oval silver-tone medal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, produced in Italy, hand-knotted onto a woven cord in Medjugorje. Available in 15 cord colors — black, brown, navy, gold, red, and more — suitable for matching parish uniforms, school colours, or traditional Carmelite brown. Supplied in packs of 10 for parish stores, Carmelite communities, Confirmation programs, and school gift shops.

Handwoven in Medjugorje by women who pray as they tie each knot, every Our Lady of Mount Carmel bracelet from MIRJAM DOO carries devotion from its very source — Italian medal, Bosnian hands.
