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:
“he went down
As when a lordly cedar, green with boughs,
Goes down with a great shout upon the hills,
And leaves a lonesome place against the sky.”
—Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
