A scapular is a traditional devotional item worn by Catholics as a sign of their devotion to God and their commitment to living a pious life. It serves as a constant reminder of one's commitment to God, symbol of protection, and a reminder to practice good habits. It's also believed that whoever dies wearing the scapular will be saved according to the promises given to St. Simon Stock by the Virgin Mary. Scapulars are powerful symbols of Mary and her protection, thus they can bring peace, protection, and spiritual growth to the wearer.
