This depiction showcases an Englishman, Saint Simon Stock, who lived during the 13th century as a prior general of the early Carmelite religious order. Relatively little is known about his life with absolute certainty. According to tradition, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him and handed over the Carmelite habit, the Brown Scapular. Consequently, popular devotion to Saint Simon Stock is often tied to devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
