	The Scapular: History, Form and Use in Catholic Christianity - ReligionFacts.com
		Scapulars have their historical origins in larger, tunic-like garments that were once worn by Roman Catholic monks, which were adapted for the use of the Roman Catholic laity.
		Origins: At the petition of the Augustinian monks this scapular was approved and endowed with indulgences by Leo XIII in a Decree of the Congregation of Rites of 19-21 December, 1893.
		No image is prescribed for the scapular, but the scapular given in the house of the Dominican General at Rome has on one side the picture of St. Dominic kneeling before the crucifix and on the other that of B. Reginald receiving the habit from the hands of the Mother of God.

		The chasuble, (one of the liturgical vestments of Christian churches of various denominations including Roman Catholics and Anglicans), was originally a wide mantle, with a round hole in the middle through which to pass the head, and falling to the feet.
		Over the centuries it was reduced to the shape of a broad scapular which left the arms completely free at each side.
		Following the Second Vatican Council, the scapular form fell out of fashion and it is a variation of the original that is now most commonly used.
