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:
“Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green & pleasant Land.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
