linnie Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 A request for prayers to go along with the feast.....a young woman from my parish is entering the Carmel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (www.carmelslc.org) this morning. Please rejoice with all of us! blessings, linnie
faithcecelia Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 Here we are, a reminder of our early forerunners [img]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k216/ruthbale/10carme2.jpg[/img] Note the striped mantles, meant to represent the marks left by Elijah's chariot wheels! This was changed to the current white fairly early due to the common belief that stripes were the marks of the Devil.

The author has written a number of books on colour in religion. Its a translation from French so a little 'jumpy' in places but very interesting.
FutureSister2009 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Whether or not I ever do go into Carmel, I still am kind of a Carmelite at heart! Happy Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel!!!
