'''Saint Simon Stock''' ( | '''Saint Simon Stock''' (born 1165}}) was a 13th-century [[Saints|saint]] and English [[Carmelites|Carmelite]] prior, best known for his association with the Brown Scapular, a devotional symbol of the [[Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel]]. Tradition credits him with receiving a vision of the [[Blessed Virgin Mary]], who bestowed the scapular with promises of spiritual protection for those who wear it devoutly. As a key figure in the Carmelite Order’s expansion in [[Europe]], Simon played a significant role in establishing the order’s presence in [[England]] and beyond. His feast day is celebrated on [[May 16]] in the [[Roman Catholic]] Church. | ||
Born in [[Kent]], [[England]], Simon lived during a time of religious and social transformation. His life as a hermit and later as a Carmelite leader reflects the medieval emphasis on asceticism and devotion to Mary. While historical details about his life are limited, his legacy endures through the widespread devotion to the Brown Scapular, which remains a cherished sacramental in the [[Roman Catholic]] tradition. Simon’s contributions to the Carmelite Order and his reputed mystical experiences have made him a revered figure in both [[Roman Catholic]] and [[Anglican Communion]] traditions. | Born in [[Kent]], [[England]], Simon lived during a time of religious and social transformation.
