A scapular is a small, rectangular piece of cloth, often wool, worn by Catholics. It has two pieces of fabric connected by strings, worn over the shoulders. In Catholic worship, it's a sacred object used in liturgy, often bearing religious images or symbols. Its symbolic meaning varies depending on the specific scapular, but generally represents devotion to a particular saint or Marian title. The scapular is a sign of consecration and a tangible reminder of one's commitment to Catholic worship and spiritual life.
