Scope and content
The sepia-coloured image is a reproduction of the crowned miraculous titular painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel found at the Valletta Basilica. This was crowned on 15 July 1881. The painting, by an unknown artist, depicts Our Lady who in Her left arm is holding the Child Jesus, while with Her right she is holding the cloak of St Simon Stock standing by her right side. To her left, there is depicted St Agatha. In the lower part of the painting are depicted the souls in purgatory. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St Simon Stock (+1265) on 16th July, 1251 with a Scapular in Her hand and told him that whoever wore this brown scapular was sure to be saved on his death bed and receive a special protection from the Blessed Virgin. Overleaf, at the top, one finds the Carmelite coat of arms and below a memento commemorating the consecration of Mgr. Redent M. Gauci O.Carm. at St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta as Bishop of Ida in the Mauretania and Prelate at Chuquibamba in Peru.
