A Catholic scarf for Catholic teachers!
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, America's first American-born Saint, first began her journey to Catholicism after attending Mass at the Shrine of Montenero in 1803.
St. Seton founded Catholic schools in America and is the patroness of Catholic teachers.
Origin of the Devotion From The Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
Legend holds that in 1345, a poor crippled shepherd boy was tending his flock near the foot of Monte Nero, when suddenly, a brilliant light appeared, and a heavenly fragrance filled the air. At the center of the light was an image of the Blessed Mother, and a voice spoke to him, asking him to carry the image to the top of Monte Nero. The voice assured him that he could complete the journey, despite his crippled leg and crutch. It took all the boy’s strength to crest the summit, and at the top, he collapsed in fatigue. Then he felt a strange sensation in his leg, as though it had been “untied.” Strengthened by the miracle, he bounded down the mountain waving his crutch over his head, exclaiming his gratitude to the Blessed Mother.
Following the shepherd boy’s miraculous healing, a shrine was built on the site, and the miraculous image was placed atop the altar there. In the years that followed, more miraculous events took place which were attributed to the intervention of Our Lady of Grace of Montenero.
Each scarf has a Miraculous Medal attached to the hem so the wearer is graced with the protection of Our Lady. Mary appeared to St. Catherine Labore in Paris in 1830, requesting a medal be struck in her honor. The medal was made in 1832 with the approval of the Catholic Church. It was quickly distributed throughout France. and blessings that Mary had promised flowed to all who wore the medal. It became referred to as "The Miraculous Medal" and is still one of the strongest devotions in the Catholic Church, just behind the rosary.
Fashion and Faith all in one! As people compliment your scarf you will be drawn to share the gift of the Catholic faith and Mary's love for all people. Mary is a sure path to her son.
