Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. If it is, please ask a moderator to put it in its correct place.

I just wanted to know what some of your favorite scapulars are? Not just brown vs. red or whatever, but what kind of style? My favorite is one on the website MonkRock.com that has the Crusader cross on it:

The website says its purpose is to remind us that we are the Church Militant and are called daily to fight in spiritual battle.

The Aquinas and Moore online Catholic store calls the above scapular the athlete scapular. It my favorite of the brown scapulars. My favorite scapular is the Passionist Scapular: passionistcharism.wordpress.com/the-black-scapular-of-the-passion/

I use a small brown scapular like this:

It is hollow inside which contain cloth. I bought mine in a carmelite monastery. Since our climate is generally hot, the plastic protect the cloth from being soaked with sweat.🙂

Yeah. MonkRock says it is sometimes called the Athlete’s Scapular, but to me that honestly makes no sense. It’s the cross the Crusaders used. I guess you could call them athletes, but they were knights, and they used their athletic abilities for more creative purposes. 😃

I always that it was for athletes do to it having a shorter cord and being less likely to get in the way.

That also makes sense. Though in the image it appears the cord is actually very long.
