Scapular

This is a six fold scapular. It was part of a house clearance that was being sold at the market. The scapular is worn by Catholics, it should be made of wool and should be worn close to the skin so you can feel it. You are required to pray to the saints represented on each fold daily. The folds are cased inside the blue pockets, but can be pulled out when praying so that each fold is touched as the appropriate prayer is uttered. Some people think think that the six fold is too many, arguing that the focus and potency of the prayer will be diminished when so widely spread and favour a maximum of three folds.
