Three Friars. A rare shot of three types of friars together in Blackfriars church, Oxford. The name Friar is a corruption of the French word frère ("brother" in English), and dates from the 13th century. The French word frère in turn comes from the Latin word frater, which also means "brother". Friars are like monks who live in communities and pray the Divine Office but unlike monks, they are not bound to a particular monastery for life but to an international Order. Friars are thus called itinerants. They are also mendicants, espousing poverty and begging for their living unlike the monks who generally have land and property on which they work for a living. In this photo, we see a Greyfriar (Franciscan), a Blackfriar (Dominican) and a Whitefriar (Carmelite). Although the White Friar is not wearing his white cape over his brown habit, he may still be called this!

What is the scapular ? Carmelites gather for their annual celebration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in New York City. The crowd is diverse, but Haitian-American parishioners outnumber the Italians who as immigrants, established the parish on 115th Street in the 19th century. After mass, attendees join the procession that begins outside church doors. Catholic priests and congregants walk through their East Harlem neighborhood receiving onlookers' best wishes. Creole songs, strains of "Ave Maria" and band music interrupt the otherwise quiet afternoon. The statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is linked to the Haitian spirit of feminine love. In Carmelite tradition, the Blessed Virgin Mary gave the scapular to St. Simon Stock on July 16 in 1251. She is one of three images of the Virgin Mary recognized by pontifical authority.
