The scapular of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus originated from a version created by Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque, who made and distributed the scapulars herself.  The scapular of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was widely used during the plague at Marseilles as a form of protection, and also during the horrors of the French Revolution as a safeguard for the faithful.  This first version of the scapular however, was called a scapular but did not carry any of the conditions of a scapular.  It was not until 1900 that the official scapular of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus came to be and was designed from two segments of white woolen cloth connected by two strings.  The first segment displayed the image of the Sacred Heart, while the other of the Blessed Virgin under the title, Mother of Mercy.  The scapular of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus should be blessed by a priest in order for the wearer to become fully invested.
