Carmelite Coat of Arms
The official symbol of the Congregation of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, or the Sisters of Mount Carmel, is a modern day version of an ancient symbol probably dating back to 1499.
The colors of the shield are BROWN and WHITE. The dark mountain (bottom area) originally symbolized a ” cloaked shield,” light in the upper part and darker brown in the lower section. The “cloaked shield” represents the HABIT of the Ancient Order of Carmel: the brown tunic and white cloak.
Some writers explained that the shield of Carmel itself represents the defense of our Church and our Faith. The mountain inside the shield represents Mount Carmel in Palestine where the first Carmelites lived.
At different times, different meanings have been attributed to the three stars. One explanation is that the three stars represent three periods in the history of the Carmelite Order.
