Red Scapular of the Passion

The Red Scapular of the Passion of Our Lord and the Sacred Hearts and Jesus and Mary is a Roman Catholic sacramental scapular associated with the Lazarists. It is often just called the Scapular of the Passion or simply the Red Scapular but it should not be confused with other similarly-termed scapulars described below.

The Red Scapular of the Passion is a popular scapular and forms the uppermost portion of the Fivefold Scapular.

was born on 7 May 1810 in Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule (Allier) to Leonardo, and Apolline Grangie Andriveau. Her father was a notary who saw to it that she received a good education. The family moved to Paris when her father received a promotion. Upon the death of her mother, it was decided that she should complete her studies at the convent of St. Elizabeth.

In 1833, she joined the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul and was sent to the convent in Troyes. She had a particular devotion to the Passion of Christ. In 1830 Catherine Labouré had reported a vision of the Blessed Virgin, which she had experienced in the chapel of the motherhouse of the Daughters of Charity in Paris, which led to the development of the Miraculous Medal. Ten years later, in 1840, Sister Justine Bisqueyburu disclosed a vision of the Blessed Virgin she had purportedly experienced in the Daughters of Charity house in Blangy. This gave rise to the Green Scapular.

Sister Appoline revealed that from 26 July 1846 to 14 September 1846 visions of Jesus and Mary appeared to the sister in her convent in Troyes, France and promised her that those who wear the scapular faithfully and contemplated the Passion of Jesus Christ would be granted a great increase of faith, hope and charity every Friday.
