The Scapular of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a Roman Catholic devotional scapular.[1]

This scapular originated in 1877 with the Sons of the lmmaculate Heart of Mary. It was sanctioned and endowed with indulgences by Blessed Pope Pius IX in May 1877. The scapular was later approved by the Congregation of Rites in 1907 and assigned indulgences. The scapular is white and the front has an image burning heart of Mary, out of which grows a lily; the heart is encircled by a wreath of roses and pierced with a sword.[2]
