"Our Lady, in the year 1251, on July 16th, gave the scapula to Saint Simon as a gift and a promise of her assistance and prayer and our devotion to her," said Philip Franco, emcee and chairman of the event. "So for well over 800 years, it's been a big part of Catholicism."

The Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast has drawn hundreds of thousands for over a century, featuring the Giglio, a four-ton, 72-foot statue carried by 120 'lifters'.
