The Green Scapular (or Scapular of the Immaculate Heart of Mary) is a Roman Catholic devotional scapular. It should not be confused with other similarly-termed: the White Scapular of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Green Scapular was approved by Pope Pius IX in 1863 and again in 1870. He said: "write to these good Sisters that I authorize them to make and distribute it."
The Green Scapular is commonly called a scapular due to its appearance but is not descended from the scapulars of the religious orders.

Famous quotes containing the word green:
“There was an old man lived out in the wood,
His trade was a-cutting of Broom, green Broom;
He had but one son without thrift, without good,
Who lay in his bed till ‘twas noon, bright noon.”
—Unknown. Broom, Green Broom (l. 1–4)
