Marian apparition · Aylesford, United Kingdom
Our Lady of Mount Carmel
A pious tradition holds that on 16 July 1251 Mary appeared to the Carmelite prior general St Simon Stock holding the scapular of the order, and promised her protection to those who wear it; the Catholic Encyclopedia places the vision at Cambridge. Aylesford, where Simon Stock was elected prior general in 1247, is again a Carmelite friary and a place of pilgrimage.
