The Roman Catholic Church considers it a sacramental. It consists of two small squares of cloth, wood or laminated paper, bearing religious images or text, which are joined by two bands of cloth. The wearer places one square on the chest, rests the bands one on each shoulder and lets the second square drop down the back.</i> <br />_Wikipedia Sun, 03 Feb 2008 16:30:46 +0000 http://wordie.org/words/scapular#comments
