Feast day: July 16
Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Patronal feast of the Carmelites, the order of hermits-turned-mystics that gave the Church Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Thérèse of Lisieux.
The brown scapular associated with this feast is one of the most worn devotional objects in history — two small squares of wool cloth.
