What are Scapulars?

[juliegh23]

I am going through RCIA currently, and have seen the word scapular used here. What are they? What do they look like?

Best information I can give you is here newadvent.org/cathen/13508b.htm
And by the way they are SCAPULARS!! The SCAPULA is a shoulder blade!
It is a common mistake!
