Beautiful and unique sacramental honoring Our Lady of Sorrows.
The Seven Sorrows of Mary is a devotion to Mary and Her Suffering through the life and death of her Son. Originating in the 13th century, seven noblemen from Florence, Italy founded the Order of the Servants of Mary or "Servites". In a vision Our Lady appeared to them holding black garments and said "You will found a new Order, and you will be my witness throughout the world. This is your name: Servants of Mary. This is your rule: that of St. Augustine. And here is your distinctive sign: the black scapular, in memory of my sufferings at the foot of the Cross."
Our Lady of sorrows is the patroness of the Order of the Servants of Mary, Malta and those who are named Dolores. Her feast day is celebrated September 15.
