Description: This St. Kateri Tekakwitha Quality Made 100% Wool Brown Scapular Honors St. Kateri Tekakwitha (pronounced [ˈɡaderi deɡaˈɡwita] in Mohawk), given the name Tekakwitha, baptized as Catherine and informally known as Lily of the Mohawks (1656 – April 17, 1680), is a Catholic saint who was an Algonquin–Mohawk laywoman. Born in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon, on the south side of the Mohawk River in present-day New York State, she contracted smallpox in an epidemic; her family died and her face was scarred. She converted to Catholicism at age nineteen, when she was renamed Kateri, and baptized in honor of Catherine of Siena. Refusing to marry, she left her village and moved for the remaining five years of her life to the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, south of Montreal on the St. Lawrence River in New France, now Canada. Tekakwitha took a vow of perpetual virginity. Upon her death at the age of 24, witnesses said that minutes later her scars vanished and her face appeared radiant and beautiful. Known for her virtue of chastity and mortification of the flesh, as well as being shunned by some of her tribe for her religious conversion to Catholicism, she is the fourth Native American to be venerated in the Catholic Church and the first to be canonized. Under the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, she was beatified in 1980 and canonized by Pope Benedict XVI at Saint Peter's Basilica on 21 October 2012.[6][7] Various miracles and supernatural events are attributed to her intercession. This Scapular also Honors Our Lady of Guadalupe who appeared to Juan Diego in Mexico and whose Tilma the Image of Our Lady came out on in five Marian apparitions in December 1531, and is enshrined within the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. This Scapular comes with 18 Inch Strong Silky Soft Strings and the Wool pieces are 2 inch by one and a half inch. This Scapular comes with a St. Benedict Medal, a Miraculous Medal and a Crucifix Medal. The Scapular comes with a Pamphlet explaining the Brown Scapular and I put in each order an Enrollment Pamphlet in case you need to be Enrolled. You take it to a Priest and it makes the Enrollment go quicker and Easier.
