The Black Scapular
The Black Scapular (also known as the Scapular of the Seven Dolors of Mary) was revealed to Alexander IV shortly after he had sanctified the Servite Order in 1255. Our Lady of Sorrows had promised that whoever meditated upon her seven dolors would receive her special protection at the hour of death.
