Figure of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The Our Lady of Mount Carmel figure with Child in resin is a devotional image that represents Our Lady of Mount Carmel as Mother and protectress. It is used in personal and communal prayer, recalling Mary's maternal intercession and her call to live a coherent Christian life.
This image presents the Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus, the usual iconography of this Marian title. The Carmelite habit refers to the Order of Carmel and to its spirituality, centred on prayer, listening to the Word, and the search for God.
The day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel: 16 July
The devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel has its origin in Mount Carmel, in the Holy Land, a biblical place linked to the prophet Elijah and to the life of prayer.
The feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was consolidated first within the Carmelite family and subsequently extended to the whole Church. This expansion explains the strong establishment of her devotion both in the liturgical sphere and in popular piety, especially linked to the Carmelite scapular.
The Church celebrates Our Lady of Mount Carmel on 16 July, commemorating the apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint Simon Stock, superior general of the Carmelites, in 1251. She gave him the scapular and promised eternal protection to those who wore it.
Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Prayer before a figure of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is oriented to ask for her maternal intercession and to renew Christian life.
The Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy records that praying before a sacred image is an expression of the Catholic faith in which the one praying honours the person represented.
Private prayer must be oriented to the liturgy. Private prayer before figures, images, or domestic altars is an exercise complementary to parish liturgy, never a substitute.
