scapulary

Scapulary is a variant spelling of scapular, a garment worn by members of certain religious orders.

In its full form, it consists of two panels of cloth connected by shoulder bands, hanging down the front and back.

A smaller devotional version—two small cloth squares on a cord worn under clothing—is used by lay Catholics as a sign of religious commitment.
